I think it is a reasonable wish to be able to change the hostname.
Furthermore, setting a constant prefix (via a configuration file like
/etc/netenv/netenv.conf) would make my life as Debian maintainer much
easier. This is because there is a particular problem - don't know
whether other distributions have it, too: hostname is written to the
proc filesystem only by an init script, /etc/rcS.d/S40hostname.sh, while
the networking is started by /etc/rcS.d/S40networking. On a sysV init
system, I can tweak netenv between both because of a happy coincidence
of names and sorting order (hostname < netenv < networking), but the
clean solution would be not to require the hostname and be S3Xnetenv.
And with other init systems, like file-rc, the letter order doesn't
count at all, only the numbers...
I could easily implement this for Debian, but I'm reluctant because I
don't want to diverge too far from your versions. Do you have any
timeline for 0.96? A couple of months ago you said that since there
were no real needs for changes, you wouldn't be working much, but this
might have changed?
