I see this here on 1.1 also, but I thought it might be due to my system
losing the sense of "who" it is! I no longer see the hostname on the
login prompt, or if I do a uname -a , for example. And, no info goes to
/var/log/messages (since syslogd doesn't start I presume). Where else,
other than the /etc/hostname does it keep what it believes to be the
hostname of the system? If I knew that, I think I could fix this on my
end........I think!?
