I just can't get it. :-( |

When I logon I can see in the console: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
"This is lappy.(none) (Linux i686 2.6.7-gentoo-r8) 13.31.51" |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Where is this "(none)" being read from? As in which files and which |
| 14 |
particular entry in that file? |

OK, but when I enter nis_domain="STUDY" in /etc/conf.d/net, I still |
| 21 |
get "(none)". |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Unlike Alex's earlier example I do not need to set up DNS servers addresses, |
| 24 |
or other IP addresses as these are picked up by the dhcpcd server from my |
| 25 |
hardware router. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I manually ran: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
# domainname STUDY |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
and now I get: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
# domainname -v |
| 34 |
getdomainname()=`STUDY' |
| 35 |
STUDY |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
which is fine, but the console still shows hostname.(none). I am obviously |
| 38 |
confused with all this name setting and would very much appreciate your |
| 39 |
patience and help to make me understand. :) |
