domainname portion of a fqdn, same as in the host file. I can set it by 
the usual means, its there till I reboot, then its back to (none)

Just one of the things its taken over. Now we have a different command to 
set the hostname too if you want it to stick over a reboot.  Someone a 
couple weeks ago showed me how to do that for hostname only. I've no 
clue how it does that because it can do it even if /etc/hostname has 
been made immutable. In fact I'd call that a major security breech.
