FC4t1 - dhcp sets host IP but not host name - "you must be root"

[Msquared]

While booting my FC4t1 box, I get this message when eth0 is set up by
dhcp:

  "you must be root to change the host name"

The host name is left as localhost.  The IP address does change to the
correct value, however.

Is this a bug, or a configuration error?

I noticed that before I updated the policy from the dev repository,
bringing up lo and eth0 generated many SELinux errors (about a dozen
each), but that has been cured.
