Openbsd how to change hostname

I will assume "server" is a domain controller running a dhcp server.

you need to type two commands.

command 1: ipconfig

This will tell you the ip address of the server (gateway)

command 2: ping -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address of the server/gateway)

adding -a to ping resolves the ip address back to the hostname.

Hope this helps!
