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.

No, it's not. NIS doesn't use /etc/hosts for these things.

Here is my /etc/conf.d/hostname:
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="uilleann.fancypiper.info"

That's not a hostname. A hostname has no dots (.).
