Appendix D of O'Reilly's "Managing UUCP and Usenet" is a program which
patches the node name into the uname structure of a running kernal.  The
idea is that you run "sysname foo" in /etc/rc.  As written, it will not
work on XENIX, but the changes would probably be simple, e.g. change
"nlist()" to "xlist()", "/unix" to "/xenix", etc.  You might want to
check this out.
