This one dogged me for a little bit until I found it. I wish it were
the default in Red Hat to enable this but...
(This works on Red Hat... I don't know what distro you're running so
YMMV)
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network and add a line that looks like:
DHCP_HOSTNAME="mybox.mydomain.com"
You can start restarting services, or reboot (probably easier if this
is just a workstation).
That seems to work for me.
