standards/137173: `uname -n` incorrect behavior

[Oliver Fromme]

Just for the record:
The claim that Solaris doesn't print the FQDN is incorrect.
Solaris prints whatever the admin has configured in /etc/nodename.
If the admin has configured the FQDN, "uname -n" will print the FQDN.
AFAIK it is the same for HP-UX.

So, FreeBSD really behaves the same as Solaris and HP-UX:
If you configure the hostname to be the FQDN, "uname -n" will print it,
just like the "hostname" command.

Best regards
   Oliver
