[Zope] startup exception

[Jens Vagelpohl]

i think you can use /etc/hostconfig for that, but i am not sure if other=20=

things might break if you change that setting from -AUTOMATIC- to a host=20=

name. it will most likely give you trouble whenever you connect the =
machine=20
to a network where that host name cannot be resolved anymore.

on the other hand, why can't the "automatic" hostname not be resolved? =
are=20
you sure your DNS settings are correct?
