Bug 25954 – sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.9: domainname doesn't get set in kernel

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Philipp Kern 2003-08-05 06:41:25 UTC]

In my opinion domainname/hostname should also be set in
/proc/sys/kernel/(domain|host)name through /etc/init.d/domainname as the current
procedure could let to some failures, or am I wrong?

I do not understand what you want, please explain more detailed.

This is really the same as bug 23441.

The problem may be with agetty -- it is responsible for
getting the domain name into /etc/issue and it seems to
always pick the nis/yp domain name rather than (correct IMO)
dns domain name.

hostname -d and dnsdomainname seem to correctly get the domain
from /etc/resolv.conf even without running /etc/init.d/domainname.

Perhaps the issue is just documentation; the installation directions
say to "cat domain.name >/etc/dnsdomainname". If this file exists
all the init.d/domainname script does is rewrite /etc/resolv.conf.

To summarize: 1) Change install docs, say add "domain" line to 
/etc/resolv.conf; 2) Fix agetty so that is uses the real domain for
%o instead of the nis domain.

Just exchange /o with /O in /etc/issue.

Right, update util-linux and /etc/issue.
