>Release:        FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

	System which hostname is longer than 32 chars

>Description:

	getty truncates hostname after the 32th char
	(because it still thinks MAXHOSTNAMELEN = 32)

>How-To-Repeat:

	hostname <long name>; kill -1 1; 
	look at login...

>Fix:
	Apply the following patch to subr.c in /usr/src/libexec/getty:
	49a50
	> #include <sys/param.h>
	306c307
	< char	editedhost[32];
	---
	> char	editedhost[MAXHOSTNAMELEN];
