This is what I LOVE about this list. I was just trying to figure out how to change my hostname without rebooting. I changed it in rc.conf and was thinking along the lines of kill -1 [something]. After reading the man pages for ifconfig, rc.conf, and inetd, I was still stumped. So I came to the list to ask and the answer was already here. Thanks!
