Machines using sysutils/bsdstats

>Description:

I suggest removing the line which puts the result of /bin/hostname
into the env variable HN. This hostname is never used but people
might get distracted from using bsdstats when checking the code not
close enough. (I wouldn't like to have my hostnames being sent to
the server).

>How-To-Repeat:

grep HN 300.statistics

>Fix:
