I think the hostname command uses the uname system call rather than
gethostname. We could add a match for whatever uname returns as well.

ah, so you're saying the command line hostname and the library call
the server uses aren't returning the same thing? That makes sense.
I ended up removing the domain from the config file and it worked.
Must be an oddity of the way my machine is configed that the name is
reported two different ways.
If there isn't a more robust mechanism (which there may not be) then
maybe the install guide should simply warn the user that it might be
an issue.
Thanks for you help Sam!

Hi Walt,
With the single config file in place now, the server has to be told
(with the -a command line option) or guess which server it is. It
guesses by simply using the hostname, and you may have run into a
bug. I'll play with it and see if I can make it more robust. In
the meantime, you can use: -a 172-22-9-126.lwapp.clemson.edu

and for reference:

Should I have dropped the domain name when I created the config
file? The install instructions don't say anything about that.
