I goofed again after a rebuild from a kickstart so had to rename yet again, see below:

I need to change the host name on a test server, and in the past when I used hostname to change the hostname, it did not seem to change it everywhere.
I really don't want to do a rebuild just yet, but I have to feel confident that hostname is really changed (reboot is not too much of an issue).
What is the recommened practice? Other than get it right the first time.
To make the change permanent, edit /etc/ssyconfig/network and set the desired hostname after HOSTNAME=.
I did this and rebooted, but /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 was not changed. NetworkManager does not seem to have a dialog for changing it there. I manually edited the file. When I saved the file, NM seems to have noticed the change and auto-restarted the interface.
