[Sorry for repeating, but I didn't see a direct reply.]
If a host name doesn't fit then the buffer is too small. Let's make it
big enough, reducing the number of magic constants and avoiding silent
truncation all at the same time. Patch for that:
-- >8 --
Subject: [PATCH] use HOST_NAME_MAX to size buffers for gethostname(2)
POSIX limits the length of host names to HOST_NAME_MAX. Export the
fallback definition from daemon.c and use this constant to make all
buffers used with gethostname(2) big enough for any possible result
and a terminating NUL.
