BOINC ignores machine name

[Ageless]

Comments: Posted by: armand_karlsen Date: 1:15 AM 10-23-2005 I've recently installed BOINC 4.25 on my Gentoo Linux box, but it ignores the name of my machine, instead calling it "localhost" in on the BOINC statistics pages.

I have boinc installed on several Linux target systems. (The initial installations of boinc were months apart.) My fastest system reports (to the servers) its machine name without appending the domain. Another machine reports its machine name *with* the domain name appended. I do not know how come the difference.
