Here is why this solved the issue for you. hostname -d and hostname --fqdn get the domain part by using gethostbyname() so it does a DNS lookup on your hostname. If your /etc/hosts.conf is set to files, bind then it will look your hostname up in /etc/hosts then query DNS. If your /etc/hosts file has an FQDN entry for your hostname then all is well. If not then your hostname is queried in DNS using the domain statement in /etc/resolv.conf.

Seems not so... This will determin whether DHCP will be allowed to replace your domain statement in /etc/resolv.conf. I hope this clears it up. -- Zac Slade [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:1415282 YM:krakrjak AIM:ttyp99 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
