In case anyone cares, I quite agree with kre here.  Most of that stuff
has no business in hostname(1); those things belong in other tools.  I
haven't thought enough to suggest specific examples, but I'd hazard a
guess that netstat, ifconfig, and some (possibly new) DNS tool would be
reasonable places to consider.  "Do one thing well."
