I think this part of the discussion relates to the discussions a few days ago regarding whether or not to introduce a serverHostName preference. If I understand you correctly, clientHostName is used for the name on the remote machine that is contacted by ssh. This is exactly NOT what I need, actually. The remote host has a stable name (otherwise I couldn't contact it with ssh anyway), but the local machine (i.e., the laptop) keeps changing name depending on which network I am on. I have been using UNISONLOCALHOSTNAME for decades already to fix the names on all machines once and for all. But the setup of this is rather annoying as can be seen from my lengthy desciption, so I would LOVE to use an option in the unison prf-file instead.
