As an AIX admin you'd change hostname with
Code:
# hostname <whatever>

and uname with
Code:
# uname -S <whatever>

These are different things.

If you want to see the hostname in the shell prompt you'd probably assign hostname -s to a variable in .profile and use it to adapt PS1. Sample:
Code:
export NODE=`hostname -s`

export PS1='($?)$NODE:$PWD > '

You could do sth. similar with uname -s of course.
