Edit /etc/namesys as needed. This is called during boot and it is
a one shell script calling the program setuname.

Uhh, James hasn't identified the SPECIFIC network upon which he wishes to
install his 3B1. Mine are on two networks, and there ARE differences.
Re: AT&T StarLAN, my /etc/namesys contains:
/usr/net/netname -n thadlabs
Re: WIN/3B Ethernet, the operative program appears to be /usr/bin/hostname,
which DOES check the existing utsname because:
$ hostname -?
Warning does not match utsname->thadlabs
sethostname: Not owner
And, of course, there are the additional names tucked away in places such
as /etc/hosts, etc.
I suggest following the installation instructions accompanying whatever network
software/hardware combination is being installed.
