 Posted: Sat Apr 29, 2006 11:08 am Post subject: Setting domainname doesn't seem to work [SOLVED] |
 |
|
When I set DNSDOMAIN in /etc/conf.d/domainname to some value, the command "domainname" said that no domainname was specified. Now I've set NISDOMAIN to some value, and it was displayed by "domainname".
Problem is, that when I want to login to a virtual terminal, it shows following message: "This is tux.(none)"
As if it didn't accept my domain name.
This is my /etc/conf.d/domainname:
| Code: |
# /etc/conf.d/domainname
# When setting up resolv.conf, what should take precedence?
# 0 = let dhcp/whatever override DNSDOMAIN
# 1 = override dhcp/whatever with DNSDOMAIN
OVERRIDE=1
# To have a proper FQDN, you need to setup /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf
# (domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf and FQDN in /etc/hosts).
#
# DNSDOMAIN merely sets the domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf, see
# the resolv.conf(5) manpage for more info.
DNSDOMAIN="homenetwork"
# For information on setting up NIS, please see:
# http://www.linux-nis.org/nis-howto/HOWTO/
NISDOMAIN="homenetwork"

Any help?

FYI /etc/{conf,init}.d/domainname have been removed in the latest baselayout. The comment in /etc/conf.d/domainname is still valid though.

Thanks, that solved it!
For everybody who is curious, my line in /etc/hosts:
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 tux.homenetwork tux localhost |
