Yes, interface and hostname are the same, as I like the option to make
my interface names be ease to see where they are being used, now that we
can set the name.
Nicolas' advice applies if you you only configuring one interface. The
'primary' keyword is appropriate when configuring multiple, see
"Multiple Network Interfaces" in sysidcfg(4).
I must admit that I fail to see the value of the 'primary' keyword when
not using DHCP--this is a habit of mine. Either the process or the
documentation may need updating.
