Dear citizens:

I just noticed odd behavior for how $HOST is getting set on OS X v. =
10.6.3.

One one home machine connected to a wireless router and ADSL modem:

% print $HOST
internalcheck.apple.com

On another -- This one worries me more:

% print $HOST
e3191.c.akamaiedge.net

The manual says $HOST is automatically set by the shell, but I wonder =
how this is happening?  I don't have anything weird in /etc/hosts for =
example...

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Bill
