Hello,
We have some servers with some more OpenVZs installed. All running
Debian lenny, squeeze and lenny bpo.
Now we have some troubles with the Hostname and FQDN of some VZ's. In
the config files of all VZs is the HOSTNAME set to the FQDN. The NAME is
set to the Hostname of the host.
In some hosts we can now see, that /etc/hostname is the FQDN, in some
not. In the VZ's where in the /etc/hostname is the hostname, $(hostname
- -f) gives the FQDN... So i think some hosts have some problems with the
hostname and the real FQDN...

So what is the right usage of HOSTNAME and NAME in the VZ conf? where i
should use the FQDN and where just the hostname?

thanks!
sebastian
