I don't feel this is the right fix. /etc/hostname does not have the same format as /etc/hosts either! Instead, why not just make netcfg echo the hostname to /proc/sys/kernel/hostname. I belive that exim4's postinst will do the right thing if the hostname is actually set. We may also need to write a (correct) value to /etc/hostname, but I'm not sure. -- see shy jo
