Thanks for report, but you aren't 100% correct; new baselayout uses files 
under /etc/conf.d/, but only "hostname" for setting hostname and "domainname" 
for both DNS and NIS domainname. Simple echo won't work though, those files use 
syntax with VARIABLE="contents".

i've updated the handbook with the correct information (HOSTNAME="tux",
DNSDOMAIN="localdomain").
