    I am running Solaris 9 for Intel on a Dell Optiplex GX115.

    My hostname is "unknown". I don't quite understand why. My hostname.elxl0
    file reads "wa567sun", my hosts file has 2 entries:

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    134.154.84.77 wa567sun wa567sun.csuhayward.edu loghost

    I get my proper IP address, everything appears okay and everything works, it
    is just coming from host "unknown". I verified that hostname.elxl0 is
    spelled correctly. I must be missing something simple -- can someone kick me
    the right direction?. Thanks in advance.
