    This SuSE 8.2 system has run 24/7 more than 2 years. hostname used to
    work, and the prompts would use it. Not any more, and I have no idea
    why, or when it broke, but it probably only broke within the past 3-8
    weeks.

    #hostname
    (none)

    #uname -n
    (none)

    #uname -a
    Linux (none) 2.4.20-4GB #1 Fri Jan 14 15:08:13 UTC 2005 i586 unknown
    unknown GNU/Linux

    #cat /etc/HOSTNAME
    ax5t3.ij.net

    #nslookup ax5t3
    Server: 207.22.166.61
    Address: 207.22.166.61#53

    ** server can't find ax5t3.ij.net: NXDOMAIN

    nslookup doesn't work on any of my puters. :-(

    SuSEconfig also returns "unknown host". Timestamp on 13 byte
    /etc/HOSTNAME is Nov 2003. Various 1st lines in /etc/resolv.conf have no
    apparent impact.

    Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
