Hi James,
I think I've done it correctly.
Installed facter is 1.5.1 from lenny (package revision 0.1).
After one has installed the nis utils, we can set the domainname to a
domain to something thats not even remotely like your real domain (but
does exist in the global DNS).
Running "facter fqdn" will report our hostname with the new nis domain
instead. If I set the domainname to something that doesn't exist,
facter will do the right thing (what I would expect).
Tried it again on another server:
buildbox2:~/git/facter {50} # domainname google.com
buildbox2:~/git/facter {51} # dnsdomainname
domain.net
buildbox2:~/git/facter {52} # hostname --fqdn
buildbox2.domain.net
buildbox2:~/git/facter {53} # facter fqdn
buildbox2.google.com
buildbox2:~/git/facter {54} # bin/facter fqdn (thats from git, commit
8191322766b19a5e3b2bc01cf6e14112fbd57031)
buildbox2.google.com
buildbox2:~/git/facter {57} # domainname google
buildbox2:~/git/facter {58} # facter fqdn
buildbox2.domain.net
Interesting facts.
Regards,
