It might be notable that Debian doesn't volunteer a domain name unless
it's able to contact DNS. I'll get onto nslookup, or just use temporary
text (it's only salt for a password hash, and is stored).
Have you tried using unit netdb from package fcl-net? It doesn't support
Windows (and some other platforms yet), but it should work for Unix
targets. I believe that the two approaches for finding out the domain are
either getting it from the DNS or having it specified in /etc/resolv (and
both are used by unit netdb - search for DefaultDomainList).
Thanks for the additional pointer, will investigate.
