But if you want to ssh into that machine over there you have a real
challenge to remember (and type correctly) that machine's name.
As only the devising user would :)
But clearly this style distinguishes the home network sector from the

Perhaps this adds an extra level of security - if not published to a
mail-list of course.
Comments on the utility to a cracker of gaining a system name would be
welcome. (e.g. having sshd running by default is a big risk.)
