No I am not running NIS (and never have). My system contains a symlink /bin/domainname -> hostname , but I can't find out where it came from. You could also use /bin/dnsdomainname , which is in the 'hostname' package and which is a hard link to /bin/hostname. So, you'd have this in /etc/init.d/boot or /etc/init.d/hostname.sh : hostname --file /etc/hostname dnsdomainname --file /etc/domainname And I don't think you'll need to reboot for it to work. Just run the command as root and see what happens. Remco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
