Summary: uname -s returns hostname not SunOS

An execution of the setuname command created a file
/etc/rc2.d/S18setuname that changed the system name from SunOS to
met20. This was done in an attempt to change the hostname shortly after
we installed the computer (about 18 months ago). Removing this file
removed the problem.
