This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center -
1:3.6.3-0ubuntu20
---------------
gnome-control-center (1:3.6.3-0ubuntu20) raring; urgency=low
* debian/gnome-control-center.pkla, gnome-control-center-data.install:
- Install a .pkla to allow admins to set the hostname. This can be dropped
when Ubuntu includes policykit >=0.106 since gnome-control-center
ships the updated rules already (LP: #962369)
* debian/control.in:
- Recommend libnss-myhostname (LP: #1162475, #1162478)
* debian/patches/62_update_translations_template.patch: Refreshed

Title:
Changing hostname doesn't update /etc/hosts
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
1a. Run sudo gnome-control-center, or...
1b. Save the gnome-control-center.pkla from
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-control-center/ubuntu/revision/554
to /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/ and then run
gnome-control-center as an admin user
2. Enter the Details panel
3. The "Device name" (hostname) text field should be editable; change the
text to something else.
4. The hostname is updated instantly which can be verified by looking in
/etc/hostname. However /etc/hosts/ is not updated.
The hostnamed documentation at
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/hostnamed says
"To properly handle name lookups with changing local hostnames without having
to edit /etc/hosts for them we recommend using hostnamed in combination with
nss-myhostname: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-myhostname/ "
Without /etc/hosts being handled correctly, the hostnamed integration
is only half-working which is why I didn't upload revision 554 to
Raring itself yet.
