I have the same problem on 8.04 server 64bit

# sudo hostname mynewhostname
No change at all

# sudo sysctl kernel.hostname=mynewhostname

Then I cannot sudo anymore and the hostname never get changes. (I need to reboot)

To change the hostname I need to sudo bash, then modify both /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
