[lug] Hostname problem

[KoolMan]

I belelive that your /etc/HOSTNAME and /etc/hosts files both need to contain
refrence to "oldschool" not just /etc/HOSTNAME actually I'm quite shure of
this..

And Dan your /etc/HOSTNAME file just contains the hostname not the IP
address associated with the host name that is the job of /etc/hosts
