To call your machine "myHostname"

Code:
echo myHostname > /etc/nodename

I think beside changing in /etc/nodename You also need to make entry of hostname in /etc/hostname.interfacename
where interface name stands for your primary interface name like hme0 or ce0
or the interface for which dhcp is assigning the hostname.

thanks
