Dumb question about uucp

[George Williams]

    We have here a callan box (modified by someone else if that matters) running
system 5 unix (no source of course, we have 4.2bsd source on a vax if that can
be modified).  The box is of the opinion that its uuname is `clm' we would like
to convince it otherwise; there does not seem to be a hostname command, or any
equivalent.  One system V that we have has a magic little file that lives in
/usr/lib/uucp that contains this name, does callan?

    It seems to me that I read somewhere that the host name was compiled into
the kernel under sysV, that seems dumb, and unbelievable (we don't have source).
What am I missing?

There must be a better way.
