To find it you could grep the /etc/directory recursively for the incorrect name to find the script that is doing that. You might try looking at the dhclient.conf files, if it is transmitting the hostname to the dhcp server or something. Also, it could potentially have something to do with zeroconf and zcip. Do you have those services on or off? -- /g
