5.3.2.7 Setting your hostname

    You should set your system hostname with the hostname command. This is usually called from /etc/rc or /etc/rc.local; simply search your system rc files to determine where it is invoked. For example, if your (full) hostname is loomer.vpizza.com, edit the appropriate rc file to execute the command:

/bin/hostname loomer.vpizza.com

Note that the hostname executable may not be found in /bin on your system.
