 |
|
Hi,
hostname gets set to localhost.localdomain at boot and domainname is always (none).
New box/installation using in /etc/conf.d/net and everything except the box's ability to know its name and domain work great.
I have set /etc/conf.d/hostname. If I 'restart' /etc/init.d/hostname the hostname then gets set. I know the script runs at boot.
I've tried editing /etc/hosts but the file gets edited by something at boot with | Code: | | 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost |
. Is this the dhcp processing? If so I don't want it to overrule me.
I've tried telling dhcpcd.conf what the hostname and domainname are and not to ask the dhcp server for 'em but no luck.
I've triple checked the handbook and searched the forum but am not getting it. Hints?
Thanks! -Ed
