Subject: [gentoo-user] What is up with the new "domainname" situation?
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2006 23:30:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <450CCF71.7020007@veldy.net> (raw)

How is it that the baselayout has changed and now the domainname script 
is missing from /etc/init.d and all sorts of other ramifications because 
of this?

It makes very little sense to ditch the unix norm of setting a 
systemwide domain name in favor of doing it per interface!  Now I see 
that I have to set domainname in /etc/conf.d/net and that the domainname 
program returns "(none)".  A lot of software is affected by this and I 
am frankly stunned by the fact that this was just "plopped" into stable.

What a beauty to see at the login promp:

Linux(MyHost.unknown_domain)

Yeah .. that is reassuring to the users.
