Doesn't sound right indeed.. The name is being set to the server's
previous name ("Freie Energie" instead of "freieenergie"). Would that
issue in the hostname command also concern the output of `print -P %m`?
Also why would hostname do that? On a side note, I had the complete file
system searched for any file containing the old name and none was
returned. So where could it be stored?
