phantom% hostname
phantom

phantom% hostname -f
phantom.rh.uchicago.edu

phantom% export HOSTDISPLAY=`hostname -f` # note backticks
phantom% echo $HOSTDISPLAY
phantom.rh.uchicago.edu


does this work for you? it works under linux, but not with
/usr/ucb/hostname on Solaris. there may be another cmd that does this
though.

if not, and it's one machine, just use

phantom% export HOSTDISPLAY='your.domain.here' # quotes, not backticks

hope this helps,
greg
