Where would it do that? How can I find out if the queried host is at
fault?
My Windows COMPUTERNAME is newhost.
I have discovered that some queried hosts work fine, others that I try
to connect to are doing this oldhostname thing. Maybe the Unix admins
have XDMCP on the queried hosts screwed up and it is forcing the DISPLAY
variable to be something incorrect.
I don't think it is a problem on my side now.
I also can't swear that oldhostname is in fact an old host name for my
PC. I can't ping oldhost from any Unix box - I don't know where that
name is coming from.
I wonder if the queried hosts are doing some sort of reverse DNS lookup,
and finding that your newhostname doesn't match the DNS records.
