Actually, I just checked my /etc/conf.d/hostname and it is set to
localhost and everything is fine. My /etc/hostname is set to my
hostname (no network name) and that seems to take care of everything.
On the other hand there is a check in /etc/init.d/hostname that checks
for /etc/hostname and then emits the warning: stop using /etc/hostname
and start using /etc/conf.d/hostname instead. That might create a
problem with other things as /etc/hostname has bee around forever and
non-Gentoo things might look for it there. modules, sysklogd,
autoconfig, bootmisc and the obvious hostname in /etc/init.d seem to
count on it (some indirectly).
Anyway, for the time being, I'm going to keep both and comment out
vapier's warning.
