 Clearly, they are poorly written live disc OS.

 The file in question is
 /etc/HOSTNAME
 and is usually -rw-r--r--
 There's no need for that file to have write permission for anyone once
 the hostname is set, so you might just change it to -r--r--r--
 Of course, should you wish/need to change the hostname at some
 point, you'll have to re-permission that file.
