Ryan Tandy wrote: > the command should be: dnsdomainname (or hostname -d) Now, I have a question to that: How or when do new settings apply? Even though I use DHCP I understand that one can override the results from that. For testing purposes I'd like to use that. But I can change the setting of DNSDOMAIN in /etc/conf.d/domainname (the old way) and dns_domain_ethX (plus dns_servers_ethX, which seems to be required) in /etc/conf.d/net to anything without any "success". dnsdomainname would still return the same old settings. That's ok so far, but I don't like any surprises on reboot, where new settings certainly apply. My hardware doesn't like warm starts and I don't like to torture it with frequent cold starts. So, how do I make new (testing-)settings apply without reboot? Regards, Sigi -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
