When I ssh to my FreeBSD machine, I get something like this: Last login: Thu Dec 3 15:12:40 2009 from 11.22.33.44 Copyright (c) 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved. FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p9 (DAFFY) #0: Thu Dec 3 11:33:28 PST 2009 ..where "11.22.33.44" is an IP address. However, sometimes, in place of an IP address I get a truncated hostname, for example "daffy.nerius.co" (note the last 'm' missing). I was wondering what controls this, meaning if I get an IP or a hostname, and why it's being truncated.
