You need to add domainname to the default runlevel. rc-update add domainname default. This handles both the DNS and NIS domainnames. -- Bill Roberts -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I presume you have domainname running: # rc-update show domainname | boot If not then run rc-update add domainname boot, /etc/init.d/domainname start That should help.
