You only need to update the following entry in your /etc/rc.conf file:

	hostname="hades.hell.gr"

The next time your system boots or comes up from a change to single user mode,
the hostname will have changed.

Oh, and please, do not leave part of the question in the subject of the body
and part of it in the Subject: line.

Ciao,
Giorgos.
