Please describe the problem:
the network-admin tool is not parsing the correct files to get the domain name
and hostname.

It is looking for :
/etc/hostname and /etc/dnsdomainname

which have been deprecated and should be :
/etc/conf.d/hostname and /etc/conf.d/domainname

This is the latest baselayout. Also the files' formats have changed and now look
like this :
cat /etc/conf.d/hostname

# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="Phaeronix"

 cat /etc/conf.d/domainname
# Copyright 1999-2004 Gentoo Foundation
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/domainname,v 1.1

# When setting up resolv.conf, what should take precedence?
# If you wish to always override DHCP/whatever, set this to 1.
OVERRIDE=1

# To have a proper FQDN, you need to setup /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf
# properly (domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf, and FQDN in /etc/hosts).
#
DNSDOMAIN="lan"

# This only set what /bin/hostname returns.  If you need to setup NIS, meaning
# what /bin/domainname returns, please see:
#
#   http://www.linux-nis.org/nis-howto/HOWTO/
#
#NISDOMAIN=""





Steps to reproduce:
1. Run network-admin
2. goto general tab
3. hostname and domainname are empty.
4- if you set them the old files /etc/hostname and /etc/domainname get written.


Actual results:
Hostname and domainname are not parsed correctly from the system files.

Expected results:
It should parse the correct files and write the changed values to the correct files.


Does this happen every time?
Yes
