Thanks for your help but, as I've said in my first mail, I have set up 
the name I want here in system-config-network too, but still the system 
thinks it's name is localhost.localdomain. Also, I've set up the 
correct name in /etc/sysconfig/network. However, the hostname command 
still returns localhost.localdomain and the bash prompt still shows 
[marcelo at localhost ~]. 
I wonder where does the system get this information.
