Type hostname to set it, modify rc.conf and hosts file.

In rc.conf :

hostname=your_hostname


or use the hostname command (but it will only last until the first reboot)

In /rtc/rc.conf add a line like this:

hostname=host.network.net

If you are running network services such as DNS, etc. you may need to change 
it in those configuration files as well.

Hi Matt,

As root, type hostname new hostname, and the hostname will be changed
immediately. To make this change permanent across reboots, edit the file
'/etc/rc.conf', and add the following line:

hostname=new.host.name

The '/etc/rc.conf' file is described here:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-core-configuration.html

-Andy.

See hostname(1).

Also, see init(8) and rc(8).  Generally, to persist
across reboots, you set something like

hostname=hostname.domain.tld

in /etc/rc.conf.
