I was looking at the newly re-written install docs (well, done by the
way) and I noticed that the hostname looks to be being broken up as
/etc/hostname as the machine name and /etc/dnsdomainname as the domain
segment. So, if I have mymachine.mydomain.com, then hostname should have
mymachine in it and dnsdomainname should have mydomain.com.

When I set up my machine like that, on login my hostname is reported as
mymachine.(none). I can only get my full name in by setting the whole
thing in /etc/hostname, and then is reports as
mymachine.mydomain.com.(none).

Did I misinterpret the documentation, or miss a step?

I have a few different Gentoo boxes. My main one was setup before the install docs were re-written with the dnsdomainname thing. It started showing that around 2 months ago. A few newer boxes that I've setup in the last month are showing that also.
