Hi Lorenzo,

the hostname command changes the hostname of the running system, to make 
the change permanent you have to change the value in 
/etc/sysconfig/network (the line with HOSTNAME=<value>).

At boot time the script /etc/rc.sysinit reads /etc/sysconfig/network and 
uses the hostname command to set the hostname of the system to the value 
of the HOSTNAME variable in that file.

best regards,
Arne
