The file is /etc/conf.d/net, not /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 (you're probably confusing it with the initscript under /etc/init.d). > This variable seems to be just ignored and I couldn't track down so > far where exactly this happens. > > Did anyone experience this too and knows how to make it work again? > I'm using baselayout-1.12.9-r2 If you're talking about the "hostname -d" command and the \O parameter inside /etc/issue not working, then this is an old problem (for me at least). To get it working, I had to put the fqdn of the box into /etc/hosts, eg a.b.c.d host.domain.tld host since configuring the domain as per the handbook (ie, inside /etc/conf.d/net using dns_domain_lo) has never worked for me. To be honest, a few paragraphs below, the handbook also tells you to put the fqdn into /etc/hosts. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
