I thought domainname was set in /etc/hosts. I put the whole kaboodle in |
| 42 |
it and it seems to work OK. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Here is my /etc/conf.d/hostname: |
| 45 |
# Set to the hostname of this machine |
| 46 |
HOSTNAME="uilleann.fancypiper.info" |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
And my /etc/hosts: |
| 49 |
# /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of hostname-to-address |
| 50 |
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly |
| 51 |
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running. |
| 52 |
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a |
| 53 |
# "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses |
| 54 |
# and any aliases to this file... |
| 55 |
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/hosts,v 1.8 |

I'm no expert, but that was what I gleaned when I read the docs and the |
| 74 |
emerge e-mails. |
