have you read 'man hostname':

       The  host  name  is  usually set once at system startup in
       /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 or /etc/init.d/boot (normally by  read­
       ing  the  contents of a file which contains the host name,
       e.g.  /etc/hostname).

Hence, to configure the hostname:
    vim /etc/hostname
