The branch main has been updated by ziaee: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=5d7d057bb4c6cf7ff931fa6d57fb8f6810cec1a3 commit 5d7d057bb4c6cf7ff931fa6d57fb8f6810cec1a3 Author: Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-06-26 02:03:19 +0000 Commit: Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-06-26 02:03:19 +0000 handbook/network: Clarify use of Amnesiac When FreeBSD calls itself Amnesiac, that is not actually the hostname. It does that when there is no hostname set. It is not a substitute for assigning a hostname. Setting a hostname or complaining when none is set would introduce a regression for cases where the hostname is assigned by the DHCP server. Attempt to clarify the handbook instead of changing the behavior.
