Solved should I always change the /etc/host?

[marcus123]

Hi all, I usually use bsdconfig to setup FreeBSD at the beginning of installation (as a web server), but I find the /etc/hosts always has below lines:

::1 localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain

if the hostname set in rc.conf is "myhost.example.com", do I need to change the /etc/host as below?

::1 localhost localhost.example.com
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.example.com

if so, I doubt that why bsdconfig don't change it for me automatically...

Many Thanks

No, you don't need to unless you want that host to resolve those names.
