14 Didn't get it working using the entry in /etc/hosts too. My current setup:
15
16 /etc/hosts:
17 127.0.0.1 hostname hostname.domain.local localhost
18
19 /etc/conf.d/net
20 dns_domain="domain.local"
21 tried also:
22 dns_domain_lo="domain.local"
23
24 I don't mind whether there is .(none) when evaluation /etc/issue, it's about
25 having a proper system setup and if this doesn't work, it should be removed
26 from the Gentoo handbook. So I'm trying to find out what causes this and fix
27 it if possible.
