I'm not sure about RHL4.2, but, in case it's the same, on RHL5.0 and
RHL5.1 you should check out the "HOSTNAME=" record in
"/etc/sysconfig/network" as well as the single record in "/etc/HOSTNAME".
If "/etc/HOSTNAME" does not exist, then "/etc/sysconfig/rc.sysinit"
initializes it with the "HOSTNAME=" directive in "/etc/sysconfig/network".
If it does exist, then it is not rewritten. If it does exist, therefore,
you should check that the two host name definitions are identical.
