I'd argue that Ubuntu just has incorrect behaviour then.
If you look at man hosts on an ubuntu machine (13.10), you'll see how they
describe it, and the example they provide. The format described is:
IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]
The example is:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.10
foo.mydomain.org foo
192.168.1.13
bar.mydomain.org bar
That's the correct format, whether or not Ubuntu applies it.
That said, the only machine I have with ubuntu defined a hosts file with:
127.0.1.1 short-ubuntu-13.10 short-ubuntu-13
That, in a slightly unpleasant way, follows the way I'd do it.
jh
How do you send the fqdn with dhcp then?
we have:
127.0.0.1 fqdn hostname localhost
and /etc/hostname has fqdn only
Putting _anything_ else in /etc/hostname gives 'can't resolve' errors:
sudo: imposible resolver el anfitriĆ³n lubuntu-laptop.hh3.site
lubuntu-laptop
(Spanish: 'impossible to resolve host resolve host fqdn hostname'
That is with:
/etc/hostname containing:
fqdn
hostname
