Isn't this the way to set the domain name? Sounds good - did you also stop dhcp from changing it?
I have the same problem on a system that uses static configuration, not DHCP.
The traditional way is to set the fully-qualified hostname for localhost in /etc/hosts. For example, on my 42.2 laptop, I have the following: # IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname 127.0.0.1 wizard.3111skyline.com localhost wizard (note: Short-Hostname can specify any number of aliases for the fully qualified hostname) It is the same on each distro I use. SuSE used to use a 127.0.0.2 ip as well, but that seems to have gone away. The correct entry in /etc/hosts insures dnsdomainname picks up the correct domain, e.g. $ dnsdomainname 3111skyline.com -- David C.
