Thanks Roberto, it worked. I have another question, will that affect on another service that were started before setting the hostname?. I believe that my DHCP sends the hostname but I don't know why it is not set when the machine boots.

Thanks.


I am not sure. The DHCP client does not try to obtain the lease until
networking is at laest partially up. That is not the first thing to
happen, though it happens early.
