I believe the kernel shows who last ran 'config' on the kernel, not the
actual current name. So, if you last ran 'config' on a kernel options file
before the name change, it'd show the old machine name.

Subject: changing hostname..
I wanted to change my hostname and so i edited the rc.conf
file and changed my hostname.
After that everything reflected my settings...
Did i do it correctly?
The reason that i am questioning if i did it correctly is that when
i recompiled the kernel because of the ident part it showed my old
e-mail address as the user who compiled it.
thanx,
nat
