I've been using FreeBSD on a network with DHCP since October and I've been trying to get it to read a hostname from the network automatically, but to no avail. At the moment, I'm using 3.4. I can determine my hostname by logging in to another system and typing "who", but locally, I have to set the hostname before the hostname command will return anything. This was never a problem when I was using Linux, but with BSD I can't figure it out. Any suggestions? Thanks!
