MAC address loading where localhost usually...[SOLVED]

[turudd]

I have a strange problem with this most recent Gentoo installation, in my Terminal where "localhost" would usually go it's loading my MAC address I've searched around in my /etc/hosts file and have seen nothing that looks amiss. Not sure where else to look or how to fix this, I'm thinking I may have missed a step in my Gentoo installation.

Here is an example of what it looks like in my terminal:

Either dhcpcd or dhclient looked up the hostname in DNS and replaced localhost with it.

I use DHCPCD and have it sending the "nosendhost" when it runs on init. But it is still doing this, is there any other commands I should be sending? I've looked around the forum and can't find anything.

If you're using dhcpcd-4, try removing the host_name option from /etc/dhcpcd.conf
