how to modify hostname

How to modify my hostname in RH7.3 ?
 

edit /etc/hosts
add or modified this line
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(ip) xxx.domain xxxx
 

After I modified the hostname in /etc/hosts or the Control Centre GUI, the SENDMAIL reported a failure said that 'hostname not find' when rebooting, I had to modify the hostname back to 'localhost'.
How can I do, then?

Thx a heap.
 

Leave localhost un-changed .
Add the hostname show in ur license file in /ect/hosts .
U can use 'hostname' in command line to modify system hostname .
I have no idea if it is related to license's 'hostname' .
 

the easiest way

to modify hostname by using the linuxconf...very easy
