How is it that the baselayout has changed and now the domainname script is missing from /etc/init.d and all sorts of other ramifications because of this?

It makes very little sense to ditch the unix norm of setting a systemwide domain name in favor of doing it per interface! Now I see that I have to set domainname in /etc/conf.d/net and that the domainname program returns "(none)". A lot of software is affected by this and I am frankly stunned by the fact that this was just "plopped" into stable.

What a beauty to see at the login promp:

Linux(MyHost.unknown_domain)

Yeah .. that is reassuring to the users.
