Gentoo domain name
Hello everyone. I'm sitting on a fresh install of Gentoo 2005.1 and everything's running smoothly. When it starts up though, it shows m hostname.domainname as:
gentoo.()
I've set the DNSDOMAIN in /etc/conf.d/domainname to the value I want, but why is nothing showing up? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for any replies.

Is the 'domainname' service set to start with the 'default' runlevel?

Yessir.
rc-update add domainname default
Nifty little command. Still gives me gentoo.() though. Should I be adding it to the "boot" runlevel?

No, my system has it at default. What does 'hostname --fqdn' show?

After talking with 46&2 on AIM, we discovered this guide fixed the issue: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Setting_up_your_FQDN |

No problem. Just wanted to keep this up to date for anyone doing a search later.
