666threesixes666 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 ifconfig is horrible, looking at the iproute2 package info today i decided im going to throw net-tools out, it looks insecure and junky... centos7 isn't shipping with net-tools, its iproute2 only. i know nmtui so i think i can get around deleting net-tools fine to start inspecting where the os freaks out from removing it... find scripts calling those old tools to get em updated. /etc/init.d/hostname needs hostname "$hostname" changed to: echo "$hostname" > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Vinichenko Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 it has only side relation to net-tools package. Funtoo maintains own hostname generation in OpenRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
666threesixes666 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 idk i dont like the idea of naming hosts except to identify the node on the lan.... that's it.... naming it with fqdn's with out multiple fqdn's is madness to me... the box could have hundreds or thousands of domain names tied to it.

666threesixes666 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 is that what hostname does? manipulates /etc/hosts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg Vinichenko Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 yes, you changing /etc/conf.d/hostname only and /etc/hosts automatically generated. That's custom change in Funtoo's openrc. It supports aliases, so you can create multiple hosts entries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
