On Slackware, the expectation is for output of "hostname" without options to be the same as "hostname --short" whereas "hostname --fqdn" would be used if the full hostname+domain is desired. With NM-1.2.x, using persistent hostname setting and pulling it from /etc/HOSTNAME, it gets set to the fqdn and this breaks some of our expectations. It's not technically a bug, I suppose, but we like it the way we expect it, so: see attached patch from Volkerding to fix it. This doesn't affect anything unless HOSTNAME_PERSIST_SLACKWARE is defined, so nobody else should be affected at all. Please apply to both master and 1.2 branch. -RW
