	It's been our experience that the "setuname" coomand works
just fine on System V and V.2. We distribute a system base on the CT
Megaframe and have /etc/rc do a setuname (based on files a `cat $file`
of two files, sysnam and nodename) on going to init 2. Subsequent
"uname" calls find the proper system name and nodename, just like the man
page says it should (:-} :-} :-} )We find this a lot easier 
than relinking /unix (which we ended up having to because there 
wasn't enough message queue space but...).
	Seriously, if you don't have to re-configure /unix
DON'T (you never what your supplier's gnomes have gotten into).
Use your (1M) utilities instead.
