Probably created for convenience, in line with the /etc/hostname. The /etc/hostname file has no purpose but to store the hostname to be then read by the 'hostname' program, that set's the hostname at startup. The debian version of it, has a special parameter '-f' that read's the hostname from a file. Maybe a /etc/domain is there for NIS/YP? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
