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?
