When I do "hostname" all I get is the name of the server. I actually
did use your guide (along with others) which is what brought me here.

Hey, Justin. Are you following the setup steps here?

Your default key generation may not be a big deal. Generate your keys
manually following the steps in that blog post, and go ahead and
ignore the default key warning.

If you do a "hostname" command in your shell, do you get a FQDN?
