(personally, i think one should always use FQDN as hostname, however..)

if rt really wants to depends on having a FQDN as hostname, then it
needs to handle that gracefully. having a FQDN or not is at the
sysadmins discretion, not the rt maintainers ;)

not that it matters, but my hosts do have a proper FQDN, just my chroots
do not (as they are no 'real' systems).
