Huh? Hostname belongs to /etc/conf.d/hostname Its not setting "hostname", its setting the ip address of an interface using a name instead of a numeric address. Interesting - I didn't know that using hostnames worked - heh. And we supply no documentation even hinting that we support this. Older versions of baselayout would doing things different if the hostname was dhcp or adsl - it would start dhcp/adsl instead of picking the ip address. I also think that stopping this behaviour with baselayout-1.11.x is good as it would not be consistent and I can forsee other issues with what you want. So I'm not going to fix this. |
