Have you tried asking Karel > for that? Why did you involve FESCO? This went to FESCo because the bashrc maintainer didn't want to change the bash prompt otherwise. (And we voted to leave that alone.) I agree that the FQDN terminology was used loosely and sometimes incorrectly in the discussion. We can revisit if you (or others) think it should be. I don't think FESCo makes any claim to infallibility. (At least, I hope not!) > How is that fqdn determined? Simply the result of gethostname()? Or is > this the result of "hostname --fqdn"?

Based on the bugs presented in the ticket, despite the loose use of FQDN, this appeared to be about putting \n in /etc/issue (after the initial idea of calling agetty --long-hostname was discarded). The agetty man page says that's nodename from `uname -n`, which is the underlying implementation to gethostname(). So, in other words, this: > Or are you simply suggesting that a possibly configured long kernel > hostname should not be truncated on display to become a short name? but for the specific case of /etc/issue. (Agetty's default is to truncate the hostname prompt it gives, but I don't think it does that with '\n') I did read the whole previous mailing list discussion, and the above is what informed my thinking even though I didn't say so in the discussion.
