It's not that I want to force a name but it just started happening and I

I have a firewall and tripwire, prelude etc.
In a situation with one of my clients, they have a DHCP connection
(similar to ADSL, but actually it's a 2.4ghz 802.11b wireless link) and
initially the system was doing that - changing the hostname - but I
wanted to keep it static. The PPPoE settings allowed for me to maintain
the proper hostname internally but use the DHCP assigned hostname
externally - which was fine by me, but I did NOT want the hostname
changed internally as I have applications and services that are tied to
the internal hostname. Just for giggles and grins I also forced a chmod
on the /etc/hostname file to make SURE it was going to stay straight...
Just FYI - as if anyone would care that I have anything to say anyways.
