I apologize if I appear to be trolling. That's not my intention at all; I'm
more likely just not getting something (happens fairly often). If that's the
case, maybe you can help resolve (haha, punny) it.
According to you:
- hostname should be set in /etc/hosts
- domain name should be set in /etc/conf.d/net (i.e., NOT in /etc/hosts)
According to /etc/conf.d/net.example:
- DNS settings can be specified either per-interface, or globally (lines 638
and 639)
- for any DNS settings (fex dns_domain) to be specified, the dns_servers
setting *must* be specified as well (line 637) (is this the point I'm
misinterpreting?)
delta ~ # cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 delta localhost
delta ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_eth0=("dhcp")
dns_domain_eth0="mydomain.com"
delta ~ # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart > /dev/null
delta ~ # dnsdomainname
dnsdomainname: Unknown host
What have I misunderstood?
