ifconfig(8). For instance, to set the IP address 10.1.2.3 with
a netmask of 255.255.255.0 on interface rl0, you might use
(there are other ways of doing it):
  ifconfig rl0 inet 10.1.2.3 netmask 0xffffff00

Now, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "up and running",
but if you mean "post-install", you can use the same
specification style in /etc/rc.conf, for instance:
  ifconfig_rl0="inet 10.1.2.3 netmask 0xffffff00"

'Fraid I can't offer any assistance here, but I suspect others
might be able to, if you provide a little more information.

Not sure what you're trying to say here... Are you worried
about changing the binding address(es) of a Samba server?
