Hi,

There is always confusion when talking about hostnames and FQDN :-)

Here we are talking about a hostname that has a domain part in it - i. e.
long one. But strictly speaking it is not the same thing as FQDN because
the machine can have multiple addresses/interfaces and various FQDNs
associated with them on a DNS server. So we stick to the term `hostname` in
the man page rather than FQDN.

I think that it is also one of the requirements when enrolling into the IPA
domain, that the hostname has the domain part and this name can be resolved
to one of host's addresses.
