To change the DNS domain name: 1. Place an entry in /etc/sysctl.conf such as: kernel.domainname = example.com I think this ensures that the getdomainname() system call and the dnsdomainname utility return your domain name. 2. Place an entry in /etc/sysconfig/network such as: DOMAIN=example.com I think this ensures that /etc/resolv.conf contains your domain name. To change the NIS/YP domain name: 1. Create a file /etc/defaultdomain that contains: example.com I don't think Red Hat Linux actually obeys this one! :-) 2. Place an entry in /etc/sysconfig/network such as: NISDOMAIN=example.com I think this makes ypbind connect to this NIS domain.
