Is any of that really necessary? Any tool that rewrites /etc/hostname is also going to already call sethostname(); shouldn't you only need to call gethostname() to get NM in sync? Why go thru the hassle of opening and reading a file and calling sethostname() to tell the kernel what it already knows?
