    I believe the kernel shows who last ran 'config' on the kernel, not the
actual current name.  So, if you last ran 'config' on a kernel options file
before the name change, it'd show the old machine name.

  Subject: changing hostname..


  I wanted to change my hostname and so i edited the rc.conf
  file and changed my hostname.
  After that everything reflected my settings...
  Did i do it correctly?
  The reason that i am questioning if i did it correctly is that when
  i recompiled the kernel because of the ident part it showed my old
  e-mail address as the user who compiled it.

  thanx,

  nat
