Okay. So I think we should focus on why "hostname -f" returns the
wrong/outdated info. I'm not sure yet.
Out of interest what does "hostname -d" return? Should be just the
domain name part, so I expect it to say the wrong thing here. And
what is the contents of /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts?
I'm assuming you have actually rebooted at least once after changing
/etc/hostname and /etc/hosts, yes?
Cheers,
Andy
