[hobbit] purple clients problem

[Longina Przybyszewska]

still I have some linux clients that use single name instead of FQname -
they run the same software now ;)
I wouldn't like to mess the bb-hosts file since all our workstations 
suppose to be identical!

So, how is made the first line in client's msg.txt:

client aida.linux
  or
client ariadne,imada,sdu,dk.linux

Regards
Longina
