FQDN's or addresses, but see below.

Yes, 'hostname' should return the FQDN. Here I don't use a dns server
for local stuff, just the /etc/hosts files on all machines. And each
FQDN also has a one word alias that works just fine for such things as
disklist entries. It also works for that script of mine, but I cleaned
that up for public comsumption as its not always going to work for
everyone if they're using a dns & no hosts file.
FWIW my tar isn't that one either, I'm using a locally built 1.15-1
installed in /usr/local/bin, with that line suitably modifed.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
