Thanks for your reply I found the solution and it was nothing with my setting it was due to the rpm package "net-tool". I just upgraded it using yum and it got fixed .

Also I found that file "/bin/hostname" was an empty file.

Thank you

NAME
yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM package SYNOPSIS
yum-builddep package DESCRIPTION
yum-builddep is a program which installs the RPMs needed to build the specified package. The source RPM for the specified package must be available in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if it is disabled) or it can be a local source RPM file. EXAMPLES
Download and install all the RPMs needed to build the kernel RPM: yum-builddep kernel FILES
As yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its default values like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details: /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum/repos.d/ /var/cache/yum/ SEE ALSO
