The hostname of W20-575-129 appears to be set incorrectly. I can not
verify this for sure as I am off-campus for the week. I can tell you
that one of my friends who loggs onto the machine appears to Zephyr as
logged on from "xyz."
Zephyr (zhm) takes the hostname of the machine to be the name set by the
"hostname" command. It does not verify the hostname any other way. This
leads me to believe that the hostname of that machine appears to be set
incorrectly.
I could be wrong as I do not have access to the machine to be sure;
but, it is something worth investigating.
Regards,
