 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
