DOMAINNAME(1) BSD General Commands Manual DOMAINNAME(1) NAME domainname -- set or print name of current YP/NIS domain SYNOPSIS domainname [ypdomain] DESCRIPTION The domainname utility prints the name of the current YP/NIS domain. The super-user can set the domain name by supplying an argument; this is usu- ally done in the network initialization script /etc/rc.network, normally run at boot time. NOTES The YP/NIS (formerly ``Yellow Pages'' but renamed for legal reasons) do- main name does not necessarily have anything to do with the Domain Name System domain name, although they are often set equal for administrative convenience. SEE ALSO getdomainname(3) HISTORY The domainname command appeared in FreeBSD 1.1, based on a similar com- mand in SunOS. BSD September 18, 1994 BSD
