You can just change it, and it will take effect immedeately. However, there may be some server software you have running that needs to be restarted. But there is now reason to reboot you system (there seldom is on freebsd). Also (even though I see you're not asking how to change the hostname) remember to put your changes in /etc/rc.conf lest you want to have your changes discarded when rebooting. Svein Halvor
