Never heard of until your post. There is a man page on it and it says you run nameif before the interfaces are up or it will fail. It looks like you have to have the name and the ethernet MAC address in /etc/mactab. Looks like it could be useful in some places. Ok now you can name the insides of your computer. This should be fun. Monty Python characters, Cartoon Characters the posibilities are endless.
