Default system name

I installed FC2 from the iso discs, and wound up with a system name of
'dhcppc'. I'd like to change it. However, if I set the name using uname, I
cannot start any new applications. Even a terminal won't open. If I reboot
and allow the old name to come back, everything is fine again. The
/etc/hosts file only contains the localhost reference. My guess is that
it's being set somewhere during startup, but I'm not sure at what runlevel.
Any help is appreciated.
