On SL6, I've adopted the Debian approach:

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 tadmin.test.cluster tadmin

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=tadmin

# hostname
tadmin

# hostname -s
tadmin

# hostname -f
tadmin.test.cluster

# hostname -d
test.cluster

On SL7, libnss_myhostname does the job of the second "/etc/hosts" line
(but with 127.0.0.2) automatically.




To the OP:

Where are you setting the domainname?
