On Solaris, the hostname(1) command (and maybe even the uname(2) syscall, I do not remember anymore) return the FQDN, unlike Linux, where they return the bare hostname. So if some part of the configuration relied on one of these interfaces to get the FQDN, you'd get the behavior you see. > Also, when I sent test mail to myself, the Mutt "To" line was changed > to the above value. It is unclear what you mean here. Do you mean the header in the message after it went through the SMTP sausage factory and you received it back? Or do you mean the default value mutt gives you while you compose an outgoing message? -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
