fully qualified domain name not found

[bi]

I have compiled a program that needs to find my AIX system's fully qualified domain name. When I did a check on the compiling of the program, it couldn't find the fully qualified domain name.

My /etc/hosts file contains the name of my server along with its correct IP address. My /etc/resolv.conf contains the name of the domain (mycompany.com). Is there another file that I need to edit so that the newly compiled program (kerberos, by the way) can find the FQDN? Or is it a problem with the way we have DNS set up here? (Our DNS servers are on NT.)

Bi, not sure if this will work, but try adding your domain name at the end of your hostname in /etc/hosts, ie:

<IP Address> <sever name>.<domain name>

HTH.

Thanks, Ken. That did it.
