Re: changing a computer's name

[Jeff Cours <linux-j@moriarti.org>]

Following up for the archives. It looks like reversing the order of 
the names in /etc/hosts and rebooting did the trick. I'm guessing 
that, instead of reading /etc/hostname, some daemons try to discover 
the hostname by doing a reverse resolution on 127.0.0.1. In any case, 
the machine now seems to have gone back to just one personality. :-)

Thanks for the suggestions!
Jeff
