I think hostnamectl is the command to use (not just # hostname).

This documentation for Fedora 18 should still apply:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/System_Administrators_Guide/s1_Using_Hostnamectl.html

And you should also look at:

$ man hostname

It looks like this --
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/System_Administrators_Guide/s2_Set_All_the_Hostnames.html
-- is what you should do:

# hostnamectl set-hostname name

(In the example above, name is your preferred hostname)
