Umm, no.
There is a wierd dependency between /etc/hosts and the full qualified
hostname:
You can fill in /etc/sysconfig/network your hostname full qualified but
'hostname -f' still returns without domain.
Not before you change your hosts file to:
127.0.0.1 host host.fqdn
'hostname -f' comes back wrong.
I'm wondering why e.g. the domain in /etc/resolv.conf is ignored...
