[gentoo-user] Domain Name not getting set properly...
I am having some problems with setting up my domain name on my new gentoo box. I believe I have everything setup according to the handbook, but for some reason hostname -d does not return a domain name and just complains that it is not know. I have this working correctly on my older box, but I seem to recall that this was an issue on that box as well. I have domainname and hostname in my default and boot runlevels. This doesn't seem right, but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. I have setup /etc/conf.d/domainname. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Jessica -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you're not running local DNS /etc/hosts might be the crucial file. What did you put in there?

This is the information there. I'm not sure if that's the problem. I also don't know how to get dynamic DNS values. It's something that I want to be able to do. I am currently running BIND on two machines, but that won't solve this problem. 127.0.0.1 localhost # IPV6 versions of localhost and co ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts Jessica -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If you want hostname -f to get a FQDN for your machine you may want to try the following: Say your FQDN is expected to be: myhost.mydoamin.com then you have to add the following to /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 myhost.mydomain.com myhost localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost # IPV6 versions of localhost and co ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts Jessica -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Heinz Sporn SPORN it-freelancing Mobile: ++43 (0)699 / 127 827 07 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.sporn-it.com Snail: Steyrer Str. 20 A-4540 Bad Hall Austria / Europe -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
