Problem Setting up Domainname

[rohit_nanda1443]

I am new to Gentoo. I had religeously followed the Gentoo Doc on my Installation CD. Ver 2004.2
I had created the /etc/hostname, /etc/dnsdomainname and followed all the steps on the doc.
As I boot it gives my hostname correct (rohit). After reading manpage of hostname I found that domainname is on the file /etc/domainname I also created that . I even created /etc/nisdomainname.

Problem:
1) It gives rohit.unknown_domainv as my hostname.
2) After installing gnome it has started giving rohit.(none) as domainname.

My domainname i have put is ronix_world

How do I do the needful.so that it shows rohit.ronix_world as my full hostname.

I have also added in /etc/hosts an alias as rohit to 127.0.0.1.

3) what is the nisdomainname. Do I need it? Do I also need dnsdomainname. and was the install doc correct which told me to create a dnsdomainname instead of domainname files.

Thanking you.

You need to modify /etc/hosts to display it correctly, this is from my /etc/hosts so you need to modify it a bit:

I have done as you told me but still I am getting rohit.unknown_domain
I have also removed nisdomainname

Have you tried using domainname command?

machinename root # domainname my_domain
