- At least when you /server localhost, the whole domain comes up..
-
- 311 p is mrgreen@localhost.ee.mu.OZ.AU (the lame one, also monica's)
- 312 on irc via server munagin.ee.mu.OZ.AU (University of Melbourne, Australian Hub)
- 317 p has been idle 0 seconds
-
- Any one with any clues will know that you are on the machine the server
- is running on. As to just showing user@host but no domain, when there are
- machines with the same first name around.. tsk tsk.. and there are two
- American servers with that are called uxa. Cool.
