No, it's not. NIS doesn't use /etc/hosts for these things.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/hostname:
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="uilleann.fancypiper.info"
That's not a hostname. A hostname has no dots (.).
What is NIS?
So I should just have uilleann, tinwhistle and bones for the hostnames
of my boxen, correct?
What exactly does /etc/hosts do, then?
