>The firewall is attached to a cable modem, thus it gets its IP address via DHCP.  Every time I log in, after it boots, the machine name is dhcp-353-292, or something like that.  I am always logging in and changing the host name with the hostname command.  How do I do this automagically?

/etc/rc.local is the last script to run during the init process. You can 
just add a hostname line to the end of it.
