Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: cf7daaab-2a0a-4453-831f-27178fca7d79 X-Archives-Hash: 4c2af14560cbf5a1d609919944f83c37 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. Tom Veldhouse -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
