       Displays  the  fully  qualified  domain name (FQDN) of the
       specified system hostname. Any aliases are resolved to the
       host name.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  khostname  command returns the fully qualified domain
       name required for building principal names and  configuration
  files.   The names returned by khostname are used in
       the krb.conf and krb.realms files.

       Host names are a critical element  in  a  Kerberos  Single
       Sign-On  (SSO)  environment.  Host names are used to build
       principal names. Principal names must match exactly across
       the network for SSO to work correctly.
