[gentoo-user] Last line of boot `this is reader.(none)'

[gentoo-user] Last line of boot `this is reader.(none)'

[Harry Putnam]

My last line of boot output always says something like:

  This is reader.(none)

I guess that means it doesn't know its domain name?

Any know why this would happen?:

  root # domainname   
local.net0

There are a number of ways that this could happen.  Do you have your
domain name in the hosts file?  /etc/dnsdomainname?
/etc/conf.d/domainname?

Make sure that the /etc/hosts file contains your IP, hostname, and
FQDN.  It should look something like this:

192.168.0.102   gentoo.somedomain.com gentoo  LOGHOST

(The LOGHOST at the end is optional.)

Also make sure that your domain name is in the
/etc/conf.d/domainname.  Find the line with the "DNSDOMAIN=" option
and fill in the domain name.

Finally, you should have a "domain" entry in your /etc/resolv.conf, e.g.:
domain somedomain.com

All of these should be the same.
