something just happened that i've never seen before. a client obtained
a lease through dhcp (ISP is cablecom.ch) and when it finished
booting, ot asked "dhcp-321-775 login". the IP it got is
80.218.18.254, which resolves to dclient80-218-18-254.hispeed.ch.
/etc/hostname is still as it's always been, and i can't find
anything in the logs. in fact, the following should be interesting:

  Oct 22 01:08:41 albatros exiting on signal 15
  Oct 22 22:25:50 dhcp-321-775 syslogd 1.4.1#10: restart.

so this was set before init... and there's nothing in dmesg.

i am puzzled. the things that make this machine different from others
are:

  - raid (software in the kernel, 2.4.19)
  - freeswan 1.98b (unstable)
  - grsec 1.9.7d (testing)
  - reiserfs

any clues?
