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.
