Hi Michael. Sorry for that ultra long delay ;)

We have the following here: A host lcg-lrz-se.lrz-muenchen.de . When I set either: domain lrz-muenchen.de or search lrz-muenchen.de or both, a ping lcg-lrz-se works and uses lcg-lrz-se.lrz-muenchen.de But when I set neither of them the same ping doesn't resolve the hostname. Thus I assume that what the manpage states: "If no domain entry is present, the domain is determined from the local hostname returned by gethostname(2)" and/or "The search list is normally determined from the local domain name" is not true. btw: That "The search list is normally determined from the local domain name" for the search keyword,... what does it refer to? The "local domain name" set via the domain keyword in resolv.conf? > > The thing with "the root domain is assumed" might be wrong, too. > See above. Ok I'll take this one back. Thanks, Chris.
