Of course this is assuming the one asking wants the hostname there
instead of just "hostname". Otherwise I don't see the problem.
The initial string will be output in any case and I - like someone
else who noted it - see nothing wrong with setting the hostname in
/etc/rc.conf and then handing it here to the right command to make it
known to the system. It's the first part of the network init after
all. So this is correct.
Stefan.
