I have a workaround to make it work on RedHat 4.
I added this line to /etc/rc.local
#--------------------------------
ypdomainname mydomainname.com
#--------------------------------
This set the domainname at boot time

It doesn't work after I reboot the machine.

Typically change the entries in /etc/sysconfig/network -- and even in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripfs/ifcfg-ethXX (could be overridden there).
You've already touched /etc/hosts, so you should be able to either
reboot and observe the change, or just run 'hostname myhostname.domain'
and it should take effect right away.
