I tried using the hostname command to produce a new hostname, but that certainly
stick. When I booted HOSTNAME was still the same value. I also changed the host name
in the /etc/hosts file. That didn't change after boot up--stayed as I left it, the
new value. When the blue screen for login comes up, it still has the old host name.
