Here's the result of the two tasks you gave me:

1)clive@clive-desktop:~$ cat /etc/hostname

 clive-desktop

2)clive@clive-desktop:~$ grep -rs clive-desktop /etc/*

/etc/hostname:clive-desktop
/etc/hosts:127.0.1.1 clive-desktop.TPG
/etc/motd:Linux clive-desktop 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686
clive@clive-desktop:~$

On my marvlap System:
$ grep -rs marvlap /etc/*

What is shown on yours by:
$ grep -rs  clive-desktop  /etc/*
