Hello,
I have a FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p28 server that was initially configured with
the hostname mydomain.com. I am trying to permanently change that to be

No, there's not. This is the entire rc.conf file:
hostname="www.mydomain.com"
sshd_enable="NO"
vsapd_enable="YES"
enable_quotas="YES"
clamav_clamd_enable="YES"
spamd_enable="YES"
spamd_pidfile="/var/run/spamd.pid"
spamd_flags="-c -d -r ${spamd_pidfile} --socketpath=/var/run/spamd.sock"
mysql_enab

Thanks.
For posterity then, anyone who unwisely wishes to give up the hunt and use

/usr/local/etc/rc.after_everything.d"
Then create the directory /usr/local/etc/rc.after_everythi
