how to set the initial value for domainname
Hi, Somehow I forgot, and cannot find out again, how I should set domainname on system startup (I have fedora 1). My current value for domainname is (none), which slows my OpenOffice's startup horrendously. Editing rc.local is always an option, but I'm looking for the proper way to do it. P.S. Setting DOMAINNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network is ignored. -- Dan Kenigsberghttp://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~dankenICQ 162180901 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

DOMAINNAME is just too general (dns domain? yp domain? ms domain? etc.) put a line like this in /etc/sysconfig/network: NISDOMAIN=your.domain btw, i can't understand the connection between openoffice startup and the availability of a nisdomain.

btw, i can't understand the connection between openoffice startup and the availability of a nisdomain. This is a very good question indeed. I consider this an OpenOffice bug: on startup it queries my DNS for the IP of 'mycomputer.(none)' for some reason.

openoffice bug? (was: Re: how to set the initial value for domainname)

(FC1, openoffice.org-1.1.0-16) well, seems very odd to me. so i checked in my mdk10.1 (synced to cooker) about it. (and OpenOffice.org-1.1.3-2mdk installed) i also don't have a nisdomain defined (so it will be '(none)'). now, i started a sniffer on my ISPs dns' ips. (as defined in /etc/resolv.conf) and started openoffice. i saw no dns query at that time at all. I suggest you try upgrading your openoffice package.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] antid0t]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=aristo.antid0t.net GATEWAY=192.168.0.1 Those variables are picked at boot time. If you want to set domain name without rebooting: # echo box.domain.com /proc/sys/kernel/hostname For the wizard addicted: $ redhat-config-network Guy On Thu, 2004-10-21 at 16:27 +0200, Dan Kenigsberg wrote: btw, i can't understand the connection between openoffice startup and the availability of a nisdomain.
