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. -- Scott Taylor - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <ciaranm> lisa++ <ciaranm> OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE? * ciaranm kills himself -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
