I have a FreeBSD 4.9 system on a private network, connected to the internet through a Netgear router/firewall which acts as a DHCP server and receives its names through netbios. I'm trying to set it to respond to the fully qualified name "schfrbsd.lan". In my rc.conf, I have the line:
hostname="schfrbsd.lan"
I've also tried adding a dot to the end of it:
hostname="schfrbsd.lan."
Whatever I do, I cannot get the machine to register itself on the network (though Samba) as schfrbsd.lan. It always shows up as schfrbsd. "hostname -s" returns the same value.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Though it shouldn't be needed, you could try to set Sambas netbios name. See smb.conf(5) for more details.
