[Bug 8980] Re: hostname -f does not return a proper FQDN

[Thomas Hood]

I am going to be so bold as to close this bug report.  The original
report (from 2004) and followups reflect the way Ubuntu was installed
and what NetworkManager and other software did a long time ago and the
subsequent discussion is not clearly about any one issue.  If there are
still outstanding issues related to this report I would suggest opening
a new report with a clear title and description, with references back to
this report where appropriate.

** Changed in: netcfg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  hostname -f does not return a proper FQDN

Status in “netcfg” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If you start a remote desktop session off, it only gives you the connection
  string for localhost.
  i.e: localhost.localdomain:0 

  This should be either the actuall machine name (i.e. fqdn) or the IP address.
  If this is sent to a 3rd person, they would only be trying to connect to themselfs, 
  rather than the actual target machine.

  My machine is fully up to date and is running a FQDN as resolved from
  internal DNS.
