1 I did a big system update yesterday ( 52 pkgs ), incl Net-tools Dhcpcd ,
2 & on restarting today found that hostname is not being set :
3
4 root:505 etc> echo $HOSTNAME
5 (none)
6
7 Previously it was 'localhost'.
8
9 The problem seems to be in /etc/init.d/hostname ,
10 as the init process reports :
11
12 Setting hostname to localhost ...
13 /etc/init.d/hostname: line 24: hostname command not found
14 *Failed to set the hostname [!!]
15
16 I've updated Openrc to the latest testing 0.22.1 , but no change.
17 I've also tried permutations of changes to /etc/init.d/hostname .
18
19 Can anyone offer advice ?
