domainname now returns "(none)"
/etc/conf.d/net.example talks about setting up dns_domain but if
this is
used, it overwrites /etc/resolv.conf.
So how is the domainname now set?

/etc/hosts ?
Well, perhaps. It is in my /etc/hosts. But domainname still returns
(none)
Tony
You should stop using /etc/hostname and use /etc/conf.d/hostname
I don't use /etc/hostname and I DO use /etc/conf.d/hostname. What has
this to do with the domainname? Are they both set there?
Tony
I thought domainname was set in /etc/hosts. I put the whole kaboodle in
it and it seems to work OK.
Here is my /etc/conf.d/hostname:
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="uilleann.fancypiper.info"
And my /etc/hosts:
# /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...

I'm no expert, but that was what I gleaned when I read the docs and the
emerge e-mails.
