I think you are misunderstanding it all, the script rc.sysinit says;
if (-f) the file /etc/sysconfig/network exsits then execute it, if it is not
found then system will not have networking and use localhost as hostname.
So you should be looking at what /etc/sysconfig/network has included in it.
It should look "something" like;
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=Hale.yale.com
DOMAINNAME=yale.com
GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
Futher more you can check your own hostname with the 'hostname' command,
using 'cat /etc/HOSTNAME' will also show it.
