The hostname is not resolved correctly after installation. I always see "This is mydhost.(none) ...blabla..." at logon (so it seems to be /etc/issue). Instead of (none), it should show my DNS domain. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
it's cause your dns isnt setup properly *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 40203 ***
What do you mean with is not set-up properly?! My DNS has been working fine for two years now, so where could there be a problem?
It's not the DNS service. The documentation is invalid in telling you how to set up your hostname, look at the bug spanky has pointed out to you.
if your /etc/hosts and/or dns is setup properly then the issue will show correctly *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 40203 ***
re #0 this a domainname vs a hostname btw.
/etc/dnsdomainname reads: mydomain /etc/hostname reads: myhostname /etc/hosts reads: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.MY.IP myhostname.mydomain myhostname So what's wrong?
I think I have found the bug The domain name /etc/issue prints must be set with /bin/domainname However, /bin/domainname is only called when a NIS domain is set in /etc/nisdomain. Could that be possible?
Check your /etc/issue, and see if you have a \O instead of a \o in the little sequence of bash escape sequences. If you have \o, then change it to \O and you should be all set. I just recently fixed this issue on two of my mips machines, which was stumper for quite some time.
Works like a charm now, thanks! Hope you'll put that into Portage soon ;)

baselayout uses \O now
