hostname [<name>]


     Display or set the local host's name. By convention this should be
the  same as  the  host's primary domain name. This string is used
only in the greeting messages of the various network servers;  note
that  it  does  NOT  set  the system's IP address.

          hostname crv.kuyx.ampr.org.


If <hostname> is the same as an <interface> defined in an
'attach' command, this command will search for a CNAME domain
resource record which corresponds to the IP address of the
<interface>. This is commonly used for to set your hostname to
that of a dynamically assigned IP address dial-in line.
