...d hostname --fqdn (which depends on the resolver), while others want hostname . getfqdn seems to return a different result than gethostname if the hostname of the machine is an alias. For example if I have this in /etc/hosts and with some python testing. 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost2 localhost2.localdomain2 mypersonaldomainname.tld ? python -c 'import socket; print socket.getfqdn()' ? gives localhost.localdomain ? python -c 'import socket; print socket.gethostname()' ? gives mypersonaldomainname.tld ? ? so how does samba get the hostname?? ? ? ? Louis ? ?
