                          I get this (FreeNAS 11.2-RELEASE-U1):

    Python 3.6.5 (default, Dec 20 2018, 21:27:40) 
    [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible FreeBSD Clang 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final 326565)] on freebsd11 
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. 
    >>> import socket 
    >>> print (socket.gethostname()) 
    backup-server.example.com
    >>>

Wha...?
