    We  want  our  hostname  (as  returned  by
    gethostname()) to be different from our uucp name (as printed by 'uuname
    -l').

We have the same problem here, where each of our 1000 local nodes has its
own gethostname() name, but the outside world knows us as just plain "apollo".

I fixed it by using sys5 uname() instead of gethostname().  On our system,
uname() returns the "outside" name.  The #defines in defs.h make this
easy to do.
