Hi,

I'm using ansible to set up two servers and have run into the problem
that on one server 'hostname' returns the just the name of the machine,
but on the other I get the FQDN:

# hostname -s; hostname -d; hostname -f; hostname 
tadmin01
test.cluster
tadmin01.test.cluster
tadmin01

# hostname -s; hostname -d; hostname -f; hostname
tadmin02
test.cluster
tadmin02.test.cluster
tadmin02.test.cluster

The following files are identical on both servers

/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf

The files

/etc/sysconfig/network

differs just in the following way:

< HOSTNAME=tadmin01
---
> HOSTNAME=tadmin02

What other files could have an influence on what 'hostname' returns?

Cheers,

Loris
