It's up to you, but this is a perfect time to use DTrace.

bash-2.05b# more dtrace-syscalls.d 
syscall:::entry
{
   @func[execname,probefunc] = count();
}
tick-10s { exit(0);}

Will give you 10 seconds of data showing what program is calling what
syscall.  I am pretty sure sethostname or something like that is a
syscall.

Save to a file, and run with "dtrace -s dtrace-syscalls.d" .  Then
wait 10 seconds (which should be enough time for the hostname change
to occur.

Let me know if that helps.

Cordially
