Re: [help-gnubatch] hostedit issues?

[Wechsler, Steven]

While we’re on the subject, when I have multiple hosts, do I need to run the hostedit on each host to add all other known hosts. For example, if I have hosts A, B, C and D, do I need to tell host A about B, C and D; host B about A, C and D, etc? And when I add a new host, I need to tell every old host about it? There is no automatic cascading of host information?

The hostedit command limits hostnames to 14 characters. Is this intentional? Most of my unix hostnames are longer than that.

Normally this is the short hostname without the .what.ever on the end (well that's the theory) but it isn't actually the hostedit command but the internals. This ought to increase along with a whole load of other stuff including the space for job strings.

I'm just about to put through a whole load of upgrades including a new version of the Windows client stuff so I'll upgrade this
