A look at /usr/src/libexec/getty/main.c shows the folowing:
if (hostname[0] == '\0')
strcpy(hostname, "Amnesiac");
so, coherence suggests that the default should be "Amnesiac".
Othewise, you'll get different hostnames for dhcp (and the like), and
getty sessions.

As long as it will source a dhclient-exit-hooks.local :) Some of us

Under FreeBSD, the default hostname in /etc/defaults/rc.conf is currently
an empty string, "". If the hostname is not later defined, then the
system will use this through multi-user mode, which can disrupt
application behavior. This can occur if DHCP doesn't provide a hostname,
or if the user n
