how can I set the hostname so that it persists through reboots? I have
set the hostname I want in /etc/hosts but rebooting the change does
not show up. In CentOS you have /etc/hostname which serves this
purpose but in FreeBSD I don't know how to do this.


thanks

edit /etc/rc.conf and enter:

hostname="[put your hostname here]"

change the [put your hostname here] to your actual hostname.

And it will load the name on (re)boot.
