Hello all,
cat /etc/conf.d.hostname
# /etc/conf.d/hostname
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="MYHOST"
and cat /etc/conf.d/domainname
DNSDOMAIN="MYDOMAIN"
The hostname service is added to the /etc/init.d/ with rc-update,
but the commande hostname give:
#hostname
MYHOST
and
# hostname -f
MYHOST
I tried to add the domainname service:
sudo rc-update add domainname default
* rc-update: '/etc/init.d/domainname' not found; aborting
What is wrong or missing in my configuration ?
Thanks

This is how I have mine set to smoker:

Replace smoker with the name you want. I would assume the domainname
would be set the same way.
Hope that helps.

I added this line in /etc/conf.d/net:
dns_domain_lo="MY_DOMAIN"
I restarted the net.lo but still the same result:
# domainname
(none)
# hostname and hostname -f
MY_HOST
My DNS server is running but it works only as dns cache server.
So, do I need to configure it as DNS for this machine and the others in
LAN to have hostname and domainname commands working correctly?
Thanks

DNS domain name is not set via /etc/conf.d/domainname anymore. You should
use /etc/conf.d/net for that.

Yes, after adding a.b.c.d myhost.my.domain myhost in /etc/hosts,
hostname --> myhost
and hostname -f --> myhost.my.domain
:)
but domainname --> (none)
Anyway, thanks for you and all others

Ok, then you probably need to add your host's FQDN to the file /etc/hosts
(eg, a.b.c.d myhost.my.domain myhost). I found it to be the only
method to have hostname -f working.
Since the handbook does not mention this, I'm still thinking that I'm
probably missing something, but even a fresh install has the problem
until the /etc/hosts workaround is applied.

Reboot? This is Linux. There has to be another way to make it see the

All right.
dnsdomainname and domainname -d ---> myhost.my.domain
Thanks again

This is not windows. The /etc/hosts trick works as soon as you finish
editing the file, without the need to restart anything.
I guess other methods would require network restart, but definitely not a
reboot. The only thing that needs a reboot is when you want to use a new
or different kernel.

domainname does NOT show the DNS domain.
Use dnsdomainname or domainname -d instead.
