System Administration Commands                 check-hostname(1M)



NAME
     check-hostname  -  check  if  sendmail  can  determine   the
     system's fully-qualified host name

SYNOPSIS
      /usr/sbin/check-hostname


DESCRIPTION
     The  check-hostname  script   is   a   migration   aid   for
     sendmail(1M).  This  script  tries  to  determine  the local
     host's fully-qualified host name (FQHN) in a manner  similar
     to  sendmail(1M). If check-hostname is able to determine the
     FQHN of the  local  host,  it  reports  success.  Otherwise,
     check-hostname reports how to reconfigure the system so that
     the FQHN can be properly determined.
