Thought of using the hostname command in a script executed at startup?
That was one of my first thoughts and it does the trick in rc.local, with the side-effect of disabling auto-login. I just thought there should be a less-kludgy way of dealing with it. Thanks.
I may... (just may) have found it. Check out /etc/tmdns.conf One of
the first "settings" on this kludge is hostname. Does yours have
something there. Seems that on mine it got configured when the box was
installed to whatever the box thought it's name was ATT.

"Configured cable account with drakconnect, specifying localhost as hostname, which results in hostname = localhost being configured in /etc/tmdns.conf "
but that does not make a difference wrt what dhcp seems to be doing to $HOSTNAME. Thanks.
