Ok, then you probably need to add your host's FQDN to the file /etc/hosts (eg, a.b.c.d myhost.my.domain myhost). I found it to be the only method to have hostname -f working. Since the handbook does not mention this, I'm still thinking that I'm probably missing something, but even a fresh install has the problem until the /etc/hosts workaround is applied. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
