* "domain" is the namespace where all your non-cacnonical hostnames sit in, so necessary for constructing the canonical names (FQDNs). For example, if your box's name is "furunkel" and your domainname is "my-back.net", then your FQDN becomes "furunkel.my-back.net". * "search" is the list of the namespaces where non-canonical names are searched in on lookup. For example, you've got "foo.org" and "blubb.de" in your search list and you're doing a lookup for "mybox", it will try the FQDNs "mybox.foo.org" and "mybox.blubb.de". I didn't ever try what happens when domain also added to search list (maybe nothing, since its searched anyway), but it does not make any sense. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
