thanks.DutchDaemon said:I'd put something in there, even if it's only 'laptop.domain.local' or something.
I was searching for something else and got a hit on this open thread. To tie it up, the handbook for bsdinstall instructs the hostname to be an FQDN.I have never been a fan of adding a domain name to the hostname in rc.conf. hostname="myhostname" works fine.
