# 6.14. FQDN Host Information

Options used:

- `force_fqdn_hostname` FLAG Update control file with FQDN name

- `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.

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.
