The manual has not yet been updated with newer information. The 'e-smith.'
domain prefix (not trailing period) is preserved for upgrades, but omitted
from new installs. This will allow the phase out of the default 'e-smith.'
local domain prefix, but not break existing networks.

It should have worked without change if you did an upgrade rather than
install/restore.
And you can still set up the prefix from the command line:
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration LocalDomainPrefix e-smith.
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save
This will be documented in the manual or other documentation.
