[ale] host name will not stay changed

[runman at telocity.com (Greg)]

I cannot change the hostname of a PC.  I have read all of the relevant man
pages.  I am using RH 7.3 w/ all current updates.  When installed I used
"localhost.localdomain" and I have uses "uname file01" to change it to
file01 and "domain bruceg" to change it to "bruceg".  A "uname -a" shows
that my changes took.  When I reboot my changes are lost.  I know this is
silly, but I cannot get this simple change to take.  I am doing all as root,
of course.

The first line in my /etc/hosts file is 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain
localhost and is followed by the machines name that I want it to be
192.168.3.78 file01.bruceg  file01.

Any pointers/help would be warmly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Greg
