I'm trying to wrap my head around this one. I have a laptop that was issued to me by IBM that goes with me to customer sites all the time. At these customer sites, most of them run DHCP which sets the hostname on my system. Very neatly I might add. Depending on whose network I'm on my machine gets called all sorts of names.
