[StarCluster] Twilight Zone: sge_gethostbyname failed

[Rayson Ho]

(Updating the list...)

The hostname on the master gets reset to centos-ami, which is not
resolvable. Thus Grid Engine complains about the hostname issue.

Lyn: what is the value of the HOSTNAME key in "/etc/sysconfig/network"
on your master instance??

Justin & other devs: set_hostname() in node.py works on Ubuntu because
Ubuntu uses /etc/hostname, but RHEL (and RHEL-based distros like
CentOS, Oracle Linux, Scientific Linux) uses /etc/sysconfig/network,
and yet SuSE uses /etc/HOSTNAME!
