Thanks Marty,

You're quite right, that shouldn't be so, but I was trying different things
out as I went along before Jeff came up with the answer.

My /etc/hosts now only reads:-

127.0.0.1 localhost

My /etc/hostname now only reads:-

ariestao

Just as it should.

Thank you for your observation.
Be well,
Charlie
