I have a machine with the hostname "soda.berkeley.edu" .  I'm trying
to set it up so that it can do uucp but it thinks its "uuname -l" is
"soda.Berkeley.".  The name is bad enough but the trailing dot breaks
lots of stuff (mainly sendmail).  So how do I convince my machine that
my uuname is really "soda"?  uuname in and of itself is relatively
innocuous but uucico seems to have the same confusion.

later,
Adam
