In redhat and freebsd 'hostname' will print FQDN, which will result zsh to have FQDN in '$HOST', which makes it possible to use %M and %m in eg. prompt/xterm title to print either hostname or FQDN. As debian/unstable only accepts host not FQDN, $HOST will end up having only hostname, and thus %M and %m in zsh will return same string, and returning FQDN in PS1/xterm title is impossible.
I do have to say that this is quite confusing, to more confuse this, 'hostname' actually _does set_ 'foo.bar.baz' happily, will just complain. So I'm not 100% sure where the error is, every debian/unstable installation will return only hostname part (before first dot) when 'hostname' is issued, thus in all debian/unstable installations %M and %m will only return up until first dot. -- ++ytti -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
