Changing hostname - PC-BSD Forums

birdman · #1 11-09-2008, 03:45 PM

I have dipped into /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.conf to change the hostname from the default. It has worked but I think there is probably a better way of doing it as it takes about 20 seconds to resolve up on boot. Here are the changes in the /etc/hosts file:

Code:

#::1			localhost localhost.localdomain pcbsd.localhost pcbsd
#127.0.0.1		localhost localhost.localdomain pcbsd.localhost pcbsd 
::1			localhost localhost.localdomain avocet.localhost pcbsd
127.0.0.1		localhost localhost.localdomain avocet.localhost pcbsd 

127.0.0.1		avocet.pcbsd.net avocet

Any tips?
