It doesn't necessarily need to be "OK" (if particular for laptops
that goes from network to network), as it can be set in /etc/hosts.
The hostname(1) man page says here:
Technically: The FQDN is the name gethostbyname(2) returns for the host
name returned by gethostname(2). The DNS domain name is the part after
the first dot.
Therefore it depends on the configuration (usually in /etc/host.conf)
how you can change it. Usually (if the hosts file is parsed before DNS
or NIS) you can change it in /etc/hosts.
