Hostnames
Why does every computer I install PC-BSD onto use the same hostname????

Remote:FreeBSD-#hostname
PCBSD.localhost

I already pointed this issue to Kris and some other hostname misconfiguration also... But this is no issue, if you have external dns server properly configured.

it just came in my mind: if you really hate the default names, you can just modify the source from the iso image... and reburn it 8)
