We just aquired 5 new machines and we're setting out to name them but
I had one question.... I'm not sure where I learned this but I've
always been under the impression that hostname must be 8 characters
or less. Is this a true statement as far as osf... oops, Digital Unix
machines are concerned?

TIA,

Cary
