I've noticed that FTP Software's Interdrive (v1.1 beta pl2)
sends *ONLY* the hostname when attempting to mount an exported
filesystem.   It does *NOT* append any domain.

Other hosts (running Ultrix and SunOS) seem to send the entire
hostname.

So, I'm not sure which is correct.

This causes some problems for me, as I would like to be
consistant with all my entries in /etc/exports.  That is,
I would like to specify either *JUST* the hostname or
*JUST* the hostname.domain.

Which one is correct (or are they both correct)?

Thanks.
