How didn't it work? What login prompt says? What hostname(1) says? Or are you saying about paneld output?All of the above. hostname, login prompt, and paneld all report the same things regardless of the /etc/myname or /etc/rc.conf $hostname values.
So what *does* it print? And what does your /etc/rc.conf look like? Wild guess: you're using dhcp, and it's being overwritten. - Hubert
