I agree. This is bad naming, especially when you combine it with the 
availability of domainname as well. And domainname is for NIS... Perhaps 
it would be better to construct the FQDN from hostname+"."+domainname 
(the dot is actually nice even when domainname is empty, it signifies 
there's not more to look for and it wouldn't cause any assumptions when 
an identical hostname is in a DNS search path, but not the identical 
host! Lost me yet?), and replace the NIS use of domainname with a new 
variable nisdomain or ypdomain?

Cheers,
