For anyone still following this thread, using the hostname command to change the hostname does not result in a permanent change.  As per the man file, it only changes it until the next reboot.

=========================================================================================
  SET NAME
       When  called  with  one  argument or with the --file option, the commands set the host name or the NIS/YP domain name.
       hostname uses the sethostname(2) function, while all of the three domainname, ypdomainname and nisdomainname use  set‐
       domainname(2).   Note, that this is effective only until the next reboot.  After reboot original names from /etc/hosts
       are used again.
=========================================================================================

It appears to me that the only way to truly change the hostname of a machine is to edit /etc/sysconfig/network. But I might be wrong.
