@gripped Thank you for the suggestion!

But no, I checked and networkmanager is not in use, and was not in the OpenRC services.

Just to be sure and certain, I just pacman-R'd the package networkmanager.

I use connman (and connman-gtk) instead of networkmanager.

But just now I tried disconnecting/reconnecting from connman, and nothing bad happened.

@gripped Spot on! You were absolutely right!!

I managed to have a scenario where the hostname would reliably change: it was when I used connman to switch from wlan0 to eth0, or the reverse.

So I applied your fix, did again the critical scenario, and now the hostname doesn't change anymore!!

Thank you so much.

Glad you've sorted it.

Befuddled as to to why both these programs think it a good idea to silently change a systems hostname ?
There must be a reason why they do ?
Unless it's just for the shits and giggles ?
