Q about mysql_install_db under FreeBSD ports

[Atle Veka]

Hi all,


Is there any good reason for ``mysql_install_db'' to use the -s option to
hostname instead of using FQDN? Every time I install mysql 3.23 out of
ports, it fails running that script and I have to edit it manually and
remove the -s option.

# grep "/bin/hostname" work/mysql-3.23.36/scripts/mysql_install_db
hostname=`/bin/hostname -s`                # Install this too in the user
table


Thanks! :)
