This is a distro-specific quirk. Dileep had pointed this
out to me very recently... If you manually edit the file
/etc/hostname, and place "farzaan" then it should be
adequate, but for some reason RH meddles with this. In
BSD systems (Slack/ freebsd) there is no /etc/sysconfig/
Other Sys-V distros like debian has no such problems.
Incidentally, just check if you have Linuxconf daemon in
the background. Disable Linuxconf and see if it happens.
Something is surely wrong somewhere.

Sub : Additional consoles LOST #017
To add more consoles to the default 6, edit /etc/inittab. To
lines looking like this:
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty6 | Do not cross 11 because
| the last free tty is
... append something like: | needed by X. Anyway,
7:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty7 | for most boxes, 10 is
8:23:respawn:/sbin/getty tty8 | good enough
