If the FQDN was already in the kernel, I would not have submitted this.
Frankly, the only that that I have not done was compile test it :)

Oh in that case you just found a bug in suse linux.

And Debian too. I thought it was invalid to put the FQDN as your
hostname. Also makes updating the domain for a network harder (if one
would ever want to do so). Putting the FQDN as my hostname, makes
hostname -f act very strange. I think a number of tools think doing it
is wrong.
