RE: [hobbit] 2 hosts with the same name

You can always get one to lie by altering runclient.sh on one of them
(alter MACHINEDOTS="`uname -n`" to something like
MACHINEDOTS="`test_uname -n`"), though I'm confused how they are running
on the network together if they have the exact same hostname...

They must have different names in the bb-hosts file, or Hobbit will not
be able to distinguish between them. So you need to make up a pseudo
hostname for at least one of them.

For the client data (assuming you have a Hobbit client on them), you can
modify the hostname it uses to report data and make sure it matches the
name you use in bb-hosts.
