Untested, at least on RH 7.2, but I've used something similar before: Edit /etc/sysconfig/network, which should have lines that look like this:
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=yourmachinename (whatever that is) and add a line at the end: NISDOMAIN=lds If you take a look at /etc/init.d/ypbind, you'll see that it loads in the network file and sets the domain name if it's not already set and NISDOMAIN exists. -Mark On Tue, 2002-03-12 at 13:18, Robert Casey wrote: > Hello, > > My name is Bob Casey and I'm new to gnhlug.
