Do we need to define "hostname" in more detail here? Specifically, I'm wondering whether the result will be a FQDN or not (i.e., the output of "hostname" vs "hostname -f"). Looking at the code I think it will just be the short name returned. That's probably OK, but it may be worth documenting. -Peff
