Actually my computer thinks its name is 'stmike'.
That is what hostname tells me.
If I give hostname arguments, it still gives me 'stmike'.

It didn't show up there.
I did a find from / to fgrep for stmike.
Except for files in /home/hennebry I got
/var/lib/slocate/slocate.db
/var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/cups/error_log
/var/log/gdm/:0.log
/var/log/gdm/:0.log.1
/var/log/gdm/:0.log.2
/var/log/gdm/:0.log.3
/var/log/cron
/var/log/boot.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
/var/spool/mail/root
/etc/printcap
/root/.xauthTq8ojp
/root/.bash_history
/root/.xauthpQFsSW
None of these seem like likely prospects.
Even running as root, I did get several permission denied messages.
