 |
|
Hi,
I've got two SPARCS running GENTOO. For some reason one of them is using the older style network initialisation scripts but not the other. /etc/hostname vs /etc/conf.d/hostname. Both have been updated but I must have stuffed something up when updating conf files.
Can I re-emerge a package to fix the problem. If so which package(s)?
TIA |

I believe /etc/hostname is needed for the /etc/init.d/hostname script from the latest stable version of baselayout (1.9.4-r6). On my systems with wifi, I have the ~x86 keyword in my /etc/portage/package.keywords file for sys-apps/baselayout (this installs 1.11.11-r2). This latest unstable version uses /etc/conf.d/hostname rather than /etc/hostname.
So, the short answer is that sys-apps/baselayout is the package that provides /etc/init.d/hostname, but you probably don't have to reinstall. Just look at the script and see where it wants to find the config file (/etc/hostname or /etc/conf.d/hostname). You could also try restarting the script:
| Code: | | # /etc/init.d/hostname restart |
If you are using the old config file, you should get a warning to that effect. |
