As far as I understand, with modersn scripts the hostname is returned by |
| 52 |
the /etc/init.d/hostname service, which gets the host name from |
| 53 |
/etc/conf.d/hostname, whicj should have a line like |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
HOSTNAME="osage" |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
The domainname is set by domainname as |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
#domainname osagesoftware.com |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
After that, according to man hostname, FQDN will be |
| 62 |
osage.osagesoftware.com when osage can be resolved, either by the real DNS |
| 63 |
server or by 129.0.0.1 osage.osagesoftware.com inhosts. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Hope that helps. I recall I examined that after Gentoo setup according to |
| 66 |
the handbook displayed unknowndomain before the login prompt. |
