[PC-BSD Dev] PC-BSD 9-STABLE-20120418 snapshot available

[Fabrizio Parrella]

The way I currently change the hostname is by changing it in the rc.conf 
and restarting the computer.  I currently never even touch the hosts 
file .  I believe that "hosts" is mainly used, I believe, to have a 
faster lookup name=>ip
