From: Oliver Fromme To: freebsd-standards@FreeBSD.ORG, bug-followup@FreeBSD.ORG, akosela@andykosela.com, jilles@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: Subject: Re: standards/137173: `uname -n` incorrect behavior Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:05:23 +0200 (CEST) Just for the record: The claim that Solaris doesn't print the FQDN is incorrect. Solaris prints whatever the admin has configured in /etc/nodename. If the admin has configured the FQDN, "uname -n" will print the FQDN. AFAIK it is the same for HP-UX. So, FreeBSD really behaves the same as Solaris and HP-UX: If you configure the hostname to be the FQDN, "uname -n" will print it, just like the "hostname" command.
