bah, i'm sorry, it does set it correctly. using nisdomainname i can set it and see that its set correctly.
now my question is this. the nisdomain is set properly on the server and clients, but when i do: service ypbind restart on a client, it fails on "Listening for an NIS domain server...". the yp.conf on the client side has a single entry: ypserver <the ip address of my nis server> btw, service ypserv restart runs fine now... thanks, christopher On Thursday 19 December 2002 12:58 am, christopher j bottaro wrote: > ahh yes, heh, how do i set my nisdomain (on the client and server side)? > domainname something > seems to do nothing...i.e. dnsdomainname returns nothing after exectuing > domainname. i seem to remember some conf file somewhere in /etc where i > could set NISDOMAIN='something'. > > thanks for the help, > christopher > > On Thursday 19 December 2002 12:51 am, Ashley M.
