Well, its really a little more complicated than that, as I always add
the local machine to etc/hosts, and on clients and servers I add
applicable systems like file servers, etc, though I generally try to
separate functions to avoid such dependencies. I also have root's email
aliased to root@domain.com as I have several boxes that I get reports
emailed from, and I don't want to spend my days logging into each one to
see if there's any email I need to worry about.

Thanks,
Rob

Workaround is to add fully qualified host name to /etc/hosts. It's also
applicable to machine names which filesystems are automounted via NFS,
'cause `mount -a -t nfs' runs also before named start...
