Grab the list archive. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-network-config-ethernet.html Using redhat-config-network setting up the ethernet device with DHCP set the hostname by hand. That should cause a setting DHCP_HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and to a setting in /etc/hosts.
