Well, here's a typescript:

Script started on Tue May  9 17:41:14 2000
[root_at_ace /vice]# host ace
ace.maybe.net has address 10.1.0.3
[root_at_ace /vice]# host ace.maybe.net
ace.maybe.net has address 10.1.0.3
[root_at_ace /vice]# host 10.1.0.3
3.0.1.10.IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name pointer ace.maybe.net
[root_at_ace /vice]# exit
exit

Script done on Tue May  9 17:41:29 2000

hostname returns "ace.maybe.net" also, btw. /etc/hosts only has 127.0.0.1
with localhost and localhost.localdomain and ace.maybe.net is defined for
10.1.0.3 "properly".
