It appears to be set via /etc/hosts 2) using "localhost" in /etc/conf.d/hostname will cause the domain name to default to "none" 3) Setting a hostname in /etc/conf.d/hostname that doesn't match with an entry in /etc/hosts grabs the domain name of entries that are part of the same subnet. I don't have multiple interfaces on different subnets to test other cases of this but it works for me. My working config (mini.drew.homelinux.com) has the hostname of 'mini' set in /etc/conf.d/hostname, 'drew.homelinux.com' set in dns_domain= and mini.drew.homelinux.com listed under /etc/hosts. Please note this was tested on an amd64 setup with a single ethernet interface under VMware (running under M$ XP Pro x64). -Drew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
