Re: Finding FQDN on Darwin

Sure. How about *a* FQDN, or a list of all applicable FQDN's, or
"what the Python standard library function socket.getfqdn() returns",
or "what uname -n outputs", or...

For example, the ILU configuration script fqdn.sh first looks at the
output of "uname -n", then if that doesn't return a dotted name, tries
the output of "hostname", then tries "nslookup `uname -n`", then, if
all that fails, in desperation checks the banner message from the
local SMTP server.
