Hi chefs,

I'm having lots of problems when setting fqdn on ubuntu 10.04 nodes so chef gets the fqdn right. 

If I run 'hostname fqdn' hostname returns fqdn but hostname -f does not, and the node gets registered with just the machine name.

The only way I found to make chef get the fqdn is adding an entry to /etc/hosts with the ip address and the fqdn on the machine. I haven't had this problem on ubuntu 8.04 nodes. 

I'd like to find another way to make this work than editing /etc/hosts before chef register nodes. 

Has anyone had this problems? 

Greetings.
