I'm using FreeBSD 2.1.6. The original IP was set up for another purpose
and has a very arcane domain name. I am now seting it up to be useful.
However, when I first installed FreeBSD I told it the arcane name. How do
I get FreeBSD to now recognize itself as the new name?
The DNS name is set (ex.:, handy.dan.com), however, everytime I send a
message to the server, it comes back with it's old name
(ex.:,hupX.artle.gin.com). In addition, if you telnet or ftp to the site,
you see FreeBSD 2.1.6 (hupX.artle.gin.com) and I want FreeBSD 2.1.6
(handy.dan.com).
How do I change it?
