No, it doesn't.

OVERRIDE=1

I thought that this setting would have an effect. Seems not so...
This will determin whether DHCP will be allowed to replace your domain 
statement in /etc/resolv.conf.


That's not what happens.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ grep -v -e '#' -e '^$' /etc/conf.d/domainname
OVERRIDE=1
DNSDOMAIN=bei.digitalprojects.com
NISDOMAIN=bei.digitalprojects.com

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd for interface ath0
search bei.digitalprojects.com
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 195.202.32.79
nameserver 82.207.232.1
nameserver 213.160.0.1


I hope this clears it up.


Nope :(

Well, it does (in /etc/init.d/domainname). But this is obviously
overwritten in your case by dhcp settings.

You're right with that OVERRIDE=1 doesn't fix this. Another start
of /etc/init.d/domainname should. The OVERRIDE flag just decides
whether the new domain setting goes to the start or the bottom
(OVERRIDE=1) of /etc/resolv.conf (that has influence, because
resolv.conf(5) says: the last instance wins). So what's probably
missing is another call to /etc/init.d/domainname after DHCP has set up
the interface.
