Details

dhcpcd 5.2.12-4 is setting hostname to the DNS name instead of the name defined in /etc/rc.conf and /etc/hosts.

Last confirmed working version was 5.2.12-1. However the correct hostname is set by removing the following if statement from 30-hostname (reverting it to the older version).

< if [ -w /proc/sys/kernel/hostname ]; then
< echo "$1" > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
< else
< hostname "$1"
< fi
---
> hostname "$1"

Are you still have this error with latest stable release 5.5.6?
