If you are generating random hostnames then does it actually matter what name the current host uses? Would "localhost" be as good as any randomly generated one? > Is there another point in the rcS.d script sequence where I can > persist the current hostname? After S10mountall.sh? Or is there a > better way to achieve this that I'm missing? You could still set the hostname randomly. Then later come back and write the current hostname to the /etc/hostname file when it is writable. But I think you might be just as well off using "localhost" as making up a random name. (shrug) Bob
