I did a search and found several different threads but none of the solutions helped, or I did them incorrectly. perhapse the problem is that I do not understand where I am going wrong.
anyway when I start my system I get "This is Abydos.(none)" when I first setup the system it had "Abydos.unknown domain" but somewhere along the lines of following the other threads I managed to get to this, weather it is an improvement or a backstep I am not sure.
Note: The system name is Abydos, and it is on a domain registered to me: open-exodus.net
here is my /etc/conf.d/domainname file:
Code:
# /etc/conf.d/domainname
# When setting up resolv.conf, what should take precedence?
# If you wish to always override DHCP/whatever, set this to 1.
OVERRIDE=1
# To have a proper FQDN, you need to setup /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf
# properly (domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf, and FQDN in /etc/hosts).
#
DNSDOMAIN="open-exodus.net"
# This only set what /bin/hostname returns. If you need to setup NIS, meaning
# what /bin/domainname returns, please see:
#
# http://www.linux-nis.org/nis-howto/HOWTO/
#
#NISDOMAIN=""
/etc/conf.d/hostname
Code:
# /etc/conf.d/hostname
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="Abydos"
/etc/host.conf
Code:
# /etc/host.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/2.3.4/host.conf,v 1.2 2004/11/24 05:31:58 vapier Exp $
# The file /etc/host.conf contains configuration information specific to
# the resolver library. It should contain one configuration keyword per
# line, followed by appropriate configuration information. The keywords
# recognized are order, trim, mdns, multi, nospoof, spoof, and reorder.
# This keyword specifies how host lookups are to be performed. It
# should be followed by one or more lookup methods, separated by
# commas. Valid methods are bind, hosts, and nis.
#
order hosts,bind
# Valid values are on and off. If set to on, the resolv+ library treats
# the .local top level domain as link-local domain and sends multicast
# DNS requests to the multicast address 224.0.0.251 port 5353 instead
# of normal DNS requests. If you already use the .local domain in your
# nameserver configuration you will have to switch this option off.
#
mdns off
# Valid values are on and off. If set to on, the resolv+ library
# will return all valid addresses for a host that appears in the
# /etc/hosts file, instead of only the first. This is off by
# default, as it may cause a substantial performance loss at sites
# with large hosts files.
#
multi on
/etc/hosts
Code:
# /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...
