That's not a domainname, as there are no dots (.). Granted, a domain
doesn't
have to have dots, but it's very unusual to have a TLD.
I am thouroughly confused now. I previously had
uilleann.fancypiper.info and that wasnt' a domainname because it had
dots. Now I have been told the opposite. Both were written by you, so
you have me in a fog of confusion. Should I believe you since you have
told me that nothing is correct for a domainname?

That's not a hostname. A hostname has no dots (.).

Also, I understood you so, that your hostname is uilleann.
and now the command:
# domainname
returns
uilleann
Yep.
My /etc/resolv.conf remained unchanged.
Of course. Why should resolv.conf be changed?
I have no idea, but there is the /etc/conf.d/net.example which talks
about setting up dns_domain but if this is used, it overwrites
/etc/resolv.conf. Someone was wondering how to set the domain name
without changing resolv.conf, so I pointed that out.
Perhaps this is current usage?
No.
Strange. Why is the script there? Why does it set the domain name. It
doesn't break my system, but I don't have my other boxen built and the
OSs installed yet. I can't test networking until I get those made.
