17 After I set the host name in /etc/conf.d/hostname (so that
18 /etc/init.d/hostname could set it on startup), set the domain name with
19 #domainname, and allowed it to be resolved to 129.0.0.1 in hosts, the log
20 in screen started to show the correct host and domain.
21
22 It looks like the login screen displays the FQDN whenever it can be
23 resolved.
