>Description:
Setting the Hostname.

The entered host name is not propagated to /etc/hosts (only to /etc/rc.conf), 
which causes xauth problem with X startup.
note: this is a normal response
$ cat .startx.log
xauth:  file /home/jb/.serverauth.35136 ...
..
 
I had to manually edit /etc/hosts by adding bsdinstall's host entry
"localhost.localdomain" and reboot.
