I think that's the best way of supporting both without requiring (much) putzing around. If a user changes /etc/conf.d/hostname and it doesn't change, the fix would be to delete (or update) /etc/hostname and all is good in the world again.
Supporting kernel-level hostname as a side effect is even better. No complaints here! -- Daniel Campbell - Gentoo Developer OpenPGP Key: 0x1EA055D6 @ hkp://keys.gnupg.net fpr: AE03 9064 AE00 053C 270C 1DE4 6F7A 9091 1EA0 55D6
