openssh-2.9p2, short hostnames

[Hans Werner Strube]

For systems where the local hostname is obtained as a short name without
domain, there should be a ssh_config option "DefaultDomain" as in ssh-3.x
from ssh.com.
For the server, there might be a corresponding option in order to strip
the domain name from the remote client name (if it matches the server's
DefaultDomain) for use in auth_rhost2, since netgroups usually contain
short names in this case.
These applies especially to Solaris with NIS hosts and netgroup maps.
