In the global elm.rc file, you must set the options that pertain
to your host's name. For example, at the Virtual Brewery, the file
for vlager would contain the following:
<PRE>
#
# The local hostname
hostname = vlager
#
# Domain name
hostdomain = .vbrew.com
#
# Fully qualified domain name
hostfullname = vlager.vbrew.com
</PRE>
These options set elm's idea of the local hostname. Although this
information is rarely used, you should set these options nevertheless.
Note that these options only take effect when giving them in the global
configuration file; when found in your private elmrc, they will
be ignored.
