Subject: [gentoo-user] hostname problem
Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2016 07:41:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161002114148.GA1808@ca.inter.net> (raw)
I did a big system update yesterday ( 52 pkgs ), incl Net-tools Dhcpcd ,
& on restarting today found that hostname is not being set :
root:505 etc> echo $HOSTNAME
(none)
Previously it was 'localhost'.
The problem seems to be in /etc/init.d/hostname ,
as the init process reports :
Setting hostname to localhost ...
/etc/init.d/hostname: line 24: hostname command not found
*Failed to set the hostname [!!]
I've updated Openrc to the latest testing 0.22.1 , but no change.
I've also tried permutations of changes to /etc/init.d/hostname .
Can anyone offer advice ?
