getting dhcpcd to use MY hostname??

[kvaughan@bc.cc.ca.us]

I am frustrated with trying to use dhcpcd... after it hooks up with our
network, my machine becomes UNKNOWN_27 instead of kvaughan.  The hostname is
correctly set up if I keep dhcpcd from starting up.  Can someone tell me how
to fix this?  I've even tried using HOSTNAME='cat /etc/hostname' in the
init.d script, as suggested in the how-to, with no luck.

Thanks,
