That's correct. I was looking at /proc/sys/kernel/hostname, and if you
issue cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname, it will reply empty. Sorry for any
confusion this may have caused.

Just a suspicion, but I think Bernard may be thinking of
/proc/sys/kernel/hostname, which does show zero length, but when displayed,
contains the host name. I think Ryan (and I) were looking at the program
/bin/hostname, which on my machine is 15464 bytes.
