NAME

       check-hostname - check if sendmail can determine the system's fully-qualified host name

SYNOPSIS

	/usr/sbin/check-hostname

DESCRIPTION

       The  check-hostname  script  is a migration aid for sendmail(1M). This script tries to determine the local host's fully-qualified host name
       (FQHN) in a manner similar to sendmail(1M). If check-hostname is able to determine the FQHN of the local host, it reports  success.  Other-
       wise, check-hostname reports how to reconfigure the system so that the FQHN can be properly determined.
