	Yes - we should probably run an automated check for at least broken
hostname setups at ORB init time. If it's extraordinarily broken, ie.
your hostname is just totally unresolvable, or resolves to the wrong
thing thing a 'make check' should fail in ORBit2 [ 2nd pass of
test/everything ], if however the hostname is resolvable locally [ via
/etc/hosts perhaps ] but not remotely, then it won't help you.
