rhel 4.6 - /etc/hosts file gets modified

[Dustin Larmeir]

 If you are trying to change the system's hsotname - you will need to modify
it here also:

[root at nginx ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING="yes"
GATEWAY="my gateway address"
HOSTNAME="myhostname.com"

Just change the HOSTNAME= directive
