[tbox-l] bug in hostname / coreutils-5.0-2

[Rainer T. <ta...@ta...>]

Hello,
I have fond a (severe) bug in coreutils-5.0-2 hostname command which
drove me crazy.

If you enter: hostname -s (AIX version) you will get the short hostname
If you enter: hostname -s (Toolbox version) the hostname ist set to "-s" !!

AIX version

# /usr/bin/hostname
service

Toolbox version
# /opt/freeware/bin/hostname
service

AIX version

# /usr/bin/hostname -s
service

Toolbox version

# /opt/freeware/bin/hostname -s
(no output)

Now the hostname is -s

AIX version
 # /usr/bin/hostname
-s

I discovered the problem during "configure" runs.

Is this a known problem ??

Bye
  Rainer
