the files /etc/hostname and /etc/dnsdomainname are simple files with
nothing but the single word of the host or domain name. they are being
phased out of usage.
/etc/hosts will list a few ip addresses followed by names
the fines in /etc/conf.d/hostname and /etc/conf.d/domainname are
effectively shell scripts that are executed. their contents should be
more along these lines:
HOSTNAME="Mymachine"
DNSDOMAIN="example.com"
if you had put the old-style one-word format in there, then yes it would
try to run it and yeah, it probably won't be found as an executable or
set the host/domain name as you would expect...
I'd suggest re-emerging baselayout, letting etc-update replace those two
files in /etc/conf.d and putting the appropriate info *within the
quotes* in the sample files provided.
