solved my own problem

user plist buddy (more info at http://www.dreness.com/blog/archives/6)

the plist containing the computer and hostname is located /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

you may need to change the permissions of that file first before you can edit its contents, and also it requires configd to be restarted (either from the command-line or reboot the computer).
