Very true. This strange behaviour for setting /etc/issue was introduced
fairly recently with a baselayout upgrade. This entry was put
in /etc/conf.d/local.start:
echo "This is \n.\o (\s \m \r)" > /etc/issue
I did `man {issue,getty,motd,login}` for help (No manual entry for
getty) and didn't find any explanation for the above command.
Only now that genone explained (thanks genone) that \o is for NIS
domainname and \O for DNS domainname am I getting the right result.

Why is setting the hostname/domainname so convoluted? It's a different secret process on every distro I've encountered. And Gentoo has a place for a hostname, a dnsdomainname, and a nisdomainname.
