Thanks for that clue, yes the command:-
[root at rdcredits root]# hostname -f
hostname: Unknown host
[root at rdcredits root]#

But the /etc/hosts looks OK to me (I have never tried hostname -f  before)

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1       localhost office.testsite.co.uk
174.16.1.150    office.testsite.co.uk  office
217.41.99.29    office.testsite.co.uk  office

I will try looking further at this area.

Thanks

Denis
