Dear emacs users/developers,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=923418
I have a question. I know that emacs does not modify hostname.
That's correct.
But my question is whether emacs can check validity of hostname during start
and in case of failure inform user that hostname is wrong.
Greetings

There's been an etc/PROBLEMS entry about this for at least a decade, so
my guess is: no.

Tho, maybe we could add code that (heuristically) detects when we get
a timeout, and then emits a message pointing to the likely culprit.
