X is refusing to work when your hostname changes as a security

might be
a way to get OSX to ignore the new host name, but I haven't found it
yet.
In /etc/hostconfig:
#
# /etc/hostconfig
##
# This file is maintained by the system control panels
##
# Network configuration
HOSTNAME=iBook.peskin.org
iBook:/Users/bpeskin# echo $HOSTNAME
iBook.peskin.org
...even though:
iBook:/Users/bpeskin# ifconfig |grep "inet "
inet 207.135.103.156 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast
207.135.103.191
inet 207.135.103.139 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast
207.135.103.191
iBook:/Users/bpeskin# nsl 207.135.103.156
Server: ns.alink.net
Address: 207.135.127.66
Name: ibook.hq.alink.net
Address: 207.135.103.156
iBook:/Users/bpeskin# nsl 207.135.103.139
Server: ns.alink.net
Address: 207.135.127.66
Name: ibook-airport.hq.alink.net
Address: 207.135.103.139
...I think by default its -AUTOMATIC-
Hope this helps :-)
