1) After using sethostname, GNOME will not start a new terminal.

This is most likely an /etc/hosts issue with the new name.

2) eth0 loses IP when booted beside a machine with same hostname.

I believe it never gets a name because of DHCP server brokenness -- from
what you've described.

3) GUI dialog appears stating "You are not allowed to access the
system configuration"

What steps lead to this dialog box? Is the account you are logged into
allowed to perform sysadmin tasks?

1) & 3) appear to be GUI/GNOME related. Brian is right about #2.

I dare say, #1 is not Gnome related but basic system admin related (and
Gnome will be happy when you fix that -- not Gnome's fault), and #3 is
likely to be an issue of syadmin again, where the user trying to perform
whatever tasks are emitting the errors is not allowed to do such things.

Again my apologies, and please don't blame Clark. He is going
to kill me when he realizes that I used his machine to get justly
flamed.

Marco.

LOL. Nice try Clark. ;-)
