Dan,

The hostname binary doesn't fail, and yes supports the -s switch. Problem
is that something tries to look up what ``hostname -s'' returns, which it
fails at. I would much rather have the FQDN in the mysql privilege system
:)


## snip
Sorry, the host 'ctrd3' could not be looked up.
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with
the --force option
*** Error code 1
## /snip

Yes, I could solve this problem by changing my resolv.conf, but I
don't think really that fix should be necessary :)
