# 6.14. FQDN Host Information

Options used:

- force_fqdn_hostname FLAG Update control file with FQDN name

- force_ipaddr_hostname FLAG Update control file with IP address of remote host

- use_shorthost FLAG short control and data file names

Some lpr clients do not put a FQDN host name in their control file. The force_fqdn_hostname flag will cause lpd to put a FQDN host name in the control file. This option will assume that the domain is where the connection originated from.

Similarly, the force_ipaddr_hostname flag will cause lpd to put a FQDN host name in the control file.

Some systems cannot handle FQDN hostnames in control and data file formats. The use_shorthost option will send control and data files with very short names to the remote print server.
