Various combinations of events have forced me to spend the week or two of
hacking that was needed to get our machine to call itself "glacier" in all
uucp contexts. Our world is quite case-insensitive, and both "glacier" and
"Glacier" have been used in the past. I'm pretty sure I now have all of the
case-folding code installed in all of the relevant places (you wouldn't
BELIEVE how many places it matters) so that we can continue to be Glacier on
our local network, GLACIER.STANFORD.EDU on the Arpanet, and glacier on UUCP.
Down with the 4.2BSD "hostname" mechanism! Machines can have different host
names on different networks!
