Thanks. But now I know why my hostname is reset to "localhost": the cups
startup script does it :-(

I have a notebook and don't start the network during boot because sometimes
I'm without network and I don't want to wait for the dhcpcd to timeout.

I also have my hostname in the /etc/hosts, so the cups startup script
should maybe only reset the hostname to localhost if it is not there. And
print a warning: e.g. "Network not up, hostname not found in /etc/hosts,
resetting it to localhost". Or maybe even better: don't change the 
hostname but refuse to load cupsd and tell the user why.
