The site name is anything you want.  But is has to be consistent - in 
the HOSTS.LIST file and the pathname to $SYSLOCAL - which is for LINUX 
for example $SYSLINUX/$SITE.

You should never need a fully qualified name.  The host name is that 
returned by uname -n turned yo upper case unless you specify LAPTOP=YES 
in the LOGIN.* files.  In that case it is LOCALHOST.

Send me the error message from FILAIP - otherwise I am just guessing 
what usually goes wrong.
