hostname = mydomain.local?

I just noticed when I did a new clean install of 10.2 on another hard drive to try and clear up problems that now my domain name when seen with `hostname` or in Apache is suffixed with .local. Apache can't resolve it, obviously, so it uses 127.0.0.1. As I understand it, Renvezvous is appending .local to my domain name. I don't want this. I reset my domain name with `hostname`, but a reboot restores the .local. How can I make that stop?

Thanks.
 
The setting is in /etc/hostconfig. Change the line
HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-
to
HOSTNAME=your.host.name

And you shouldn't have that problem next reboot.
