I just can't get it. :-( When I logon I can see in the console: "This is lappy.(none) (Linux i686 2.6.7-gentoo-r8) 13.31.51" Where is this "(none)" being read from? As in which files and which particular entry in that file? > domainname --help clearly shows, what domainname will return: > The *NIS* domainname. This always used to be the case and > hopefully always will be the case. OK, but when I enter nis_domain="STUDY" in /etc/conf.d/net, I still get "(none)". Unlike Alex's earlier example I do not need to set up DNS servers addresses, or other IP addresses as these are picked up by the dhcpcd server from my hardware router. I manually ran: # domainname STUDY and now I get: # domainname -v getdomainname()=`STUDY' STUDY which is fine, but the console still shows hostname.(none). I am obviously confused with all this name setting and would very much appreciate your patience and help to make me understand. :) -- Regards, Mick
