I seem to remember that this was somehow related to /etc/hosts, look: # cat /etc/hosts 10.0.0.10 mybox mybox.my.domain # hostname -d # # (modify /etc/hosts) # cat /etc/hosts 10.0.0.10 mybox.my.domain mybox # hostname -d my.domain Don't know whether dhcp changes all this. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
