Re[2]: hostname and domainname from redhat list
It's the old version of mailstudio, we bought this license about two years ago, it's been working fine. I initially installed it on 6.2. From 6.2 to 7.2, it seemed that when I would set the hostname and domainname by using hostname name and domainname name, the settings would stay that way. But now under 7.3, each time I reboot, it changes... It doesn't tell me why it needs it, but it won't let me configure it without these settings..

Re: hostname and domainname from redhat list
nope, not in the config file, it's the system hostname and domainname. If I set hostname to just the name, without the domain, the installer fails, also, if domainname is set to none, it fails. There is no config file to edit, it's a shell script you run that prompts you for this info, if it doesn't match what hostname and domainname return, then it craps out.

If you want to configure the domainname, set `domainname = xxx' in /etc/sysconfig/network. NIS (Network Information Service) is something else althogether. I've never used it, but from what I've read it was developed by Sun to allow system information to be distributed across a network and can be used to override the default domain name. I guess it is used to overcome the fact that network nodes were originally autonomous. It was called yellow pages so everything about `yp' under `man domainname' and `man ypcat' is dealing with NIS.

Re: hostname and domainname
follow the posts of the others to change your hostname and domain name. i believe the advice was to look in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/resolv.conf respectively. i was just pointing out that if you're using domainname to check for something OTHER THAN the NIS domain, you were barking up the wrong tree. it says right in the man page that domainname is for showing or setting NIS/YP and dnsdomainname is just for _showing_ your domain name. _ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer when the missionaries came to africa they had the bible and we had the land. they said let us pray. we closed our eyes. when we opened them we had the bible and they had the land. - bishop Desmond Tutu - Original Message - No, this doesn't help, I already looked at this...

RE: hostname and domainname
You've been told where the 'domainname' is stored. It's NISDOMAIN in /etc/sysconfig/network, but it only gets set if you're running ypbind (or ypserv). 'domainname' is NIS information, so if you're not *using* NIS, don't worry about it.

Re: hostname and domainname from redhat list
No, my machine works fine, dns works fine, I'm trying to get a web based mail program working and it's telling me that I need to set domainname to something other than (none) I guess I can either find another package or just put this in a script.. Thanks for the help everyone.. Jake At 05:12 PM 5/15/2002 -0400, you wrote: Hi - I've been reading your posts on the redhat list. I get the list in digest mode, so I can't reply individually, but I thought I would send you a quick note. The domainname command has nothing to do with DNS domain (like yahoo.com or whatever). The domainname command, as stated in the man pages, is for setting the NIS/YP domain name for that machine. The NIS/YP domain name is akin to the Windows NT domain which has nothing to do with an internet/DNS/TCP/IP domain. As long as your hostname is correct, and you have the correct domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf you are good to go. Unless you are running NIS/YP, and I didn't see anywhere in your posts that you are, there is no need to worry about the domainname command. There is no utility to change the domain part of a FQDN. You do that in /etc/resolv.conf. So: 1. make sure output of hostname is correct 2. add domain somedomain.com to /etc/resolv.conf 3. you're done For example, I'm running numerous servers, and the output of domainname on all of them is null, and I can assure you they are all working correctly from an addressing standpoint. I don't run NIS or YP on any of my machines (LDAP is better). Hope this helps. - John John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 248-488-3466 Advertising Audit Service http://www.aas.com
