Re: 8 characters hostname limitation
Be sure you really need a longer hostname. You can create a system name for networking purposes that is much longer (as in a fully qualified name). The actual HP-UX hostname has historic roots in Unix and as you will see in the above document, many, many updates are needed for HP products to properly handle a long name. Non-HP programs may have unpredictable results. Most sysadmins use the /etc/hosts file to add additional network names (without the 8char limit).
