It's not only Redhat that changes the Hostname. I used to have that
problem when I first installed Mandrake 8.0 until I manually entered my
own hostname.  To even the score I recall playing around with snort one
time and sniffing packets from my XP box when I came across a name
something like this, mycomputername(somenumbers).hawaii.rr.com.  It
concerned me for a while that my computers name was exposed to the
outside, that Roadrunner knew it and used it to identify me, but then I
figured with two firewalls I shouldn't worry too much.
