Put an entry in /etc/hosts with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If
the system has a fixed IP address, use it; if not, use 127.0.1.1.
Your /etc/hosts will then look like:

127.0.0.1       localhost
10.0.0.100      system.example.com system

or

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       system.example.com system

That will fix the 'hostname -f' problem.
