Set hostname in /etc/rc.conf for installed helloSystem #325

Closed SanPollo closed 2 years ago

SanPollo commented 2 years ago

As discussed in this issue, for the installed version of helloSystem, please set the hostname via the hostname option in /etc/rc.conf in order to bring it into line with a standard FreeBSD installation.

More information: hostname(1)

I suspect that currently we are setting it in /etc/rc.conf.local. Is this any less correct?

SanPollo commented 2 years ago

Personally I set everything in /etc/rc.conf, but there's no reason not to set it in /etc/rc.conf.local according to the man page (although it does mention it exists for "historical reasons").

Anything in rc.conf.local will override whatever is in rc.conf. However, if you decide to keep it in rc.conf.local, please would you remove the hostname="FreeBSD" line from /etc/rc.conf as it is confusing (and is being overridden anyway)?

@probonopd is the best way to resolve this issue by comment out "hostname="FreeBSD"" in https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/blob/experimental/settings/rc.conf.common

We can remove it from https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/blob/experimental/settings/rc.conf.common#L2 and see what happens...
