In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] The kiss of death, Nelson H. F....:
There was one nit: at the point that it asks for a domain name, it cuts it off at 15 characters, which is way too small. See https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname https://web.archive.org/web/20190518124533/https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/?p=7873
I'm not positive about this, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think it's asking not for DNS domain but instead the NIS domain.
Because of Solaris' lengthy history with NIS/YP, and because a lot of sites never really went for the replacement (NIS+), I think it's asking for a NIS domainname. See domainname(1m) and defaultdomain(4) on an installed system.
