I have to join in the confusion too. Reading the examples I come to the same |
36 |
conclusion that I should be able to put |
37 |
dns_domain="kosmanor.com" |
38 |
in /etc/conf.d/net and have it work. It does not, and I get the same |
39 |
result as Mick. |

41 |
As I have static IP's and a single domain I see no point in |
42 |
per-interface domains, but |
43 |
if I used them, what in the world could I expect domainname(1) to tell me? |
44 |
|
45 |
It seems to me the most common setups are DHCP or something like mine, and I |
46 |
would hope the documentation was clear for those common cases. |
