Hello,

I suppose you had already rebooted after modify the file ?

Do you have Systemd ?

No, I did not rebooted the system. Do I need to?
I can not pin it down which file/setting it is.

When I receive emerge notice from my new system, both of them have "...merged on localhost.localdomain" instead of "hostname" eg. syscon3 syscon7 etc.

Use 'localdomain' as domain.tld if you don't have a domain.

THANK YOU! It is working.
Does placement of the name make a difference?
eg:
127.0.0.1 syscon3.domain.tld syscon3 localhost

vs.
127.0.0.1 localhost syscon3 syscon3.domain.tld

See the man page for details:
# man hosts

Yes. That's why I quoted the comment that the FQDN has to be first.

You can check with:

$ hostname
$ hostname -f

The former must give the short name ("syscon3"), the second one the FQDN
("syscon3.domain.tld").

HTH,
