How do I change hostname in freebsd?

[Andy Reitz]

Hi Matt,

As root, type "hostname <new hostname>", and the hostname will be changed
immediately. To make this change permanent across reboots, edit the file
'/etc/rc.conf', and add the following line:

	hostname="new.host.name"

The '/etc/rc.conf' file is described here:
