Nope. But that is yet another place that his callsign is properly stored as the hostname. I guess this was Linus' attempt at making linux more bullet-proof, store the hostname in 2,891,253 places so it can't get lost.

For that to happen, I had to change the host name in: etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and re-boot.

The name that I set is not stored in /etc/sysconfig/network, not stored in /etc/hosts, it just exists in the ether apparently. Now I find out that the hostname used by Allstar is stored in /etc/asterisk/system.conf (IIRC) which remained untouched, of course. I've just got to know now, even though it seems that things are sort of working OK after an initial hiccup. Thanks.
