OK, seems that there are two places where a resolv.conf file is
located. This is on Max OS X 10.5.8.
/private/etc/resolv.conf
/private/var/run/resolv.conf
The only one of these that gets updated via DHCP is the /private/var/
run/resolv.conf file. Facter does not seem to look at this file

So, when I issue the command:

I get the proper domain name from DHCP. But, 'facter', does not
display this when reporting the 'domain' or in the FQDN . Both of

Compare:
hostname
to
facter | grep -i FQDN
they should be the same. The domain name is just going to be the FQDN
minus everything upto the first period.

Yes, that is true.
Hostname is reporting wrong and so is facter.
The issue is that the mac is picking up the correct domainname from
the DHCP server, but facter is not.
The 'domainname' command returns nothing.
The other issue is that the 'ipconfig getpacket en0' command returns

domainname is only relevant if you are using NIS.
The larger issue here, IMHO, is why the hostname command is not
returning the correct host name. Sounds like you may hve a problem
with your DNS resolution. We have noticed _sometimes_ that if our
domain name is not in the search domain

I think for the Mac you need to set the search domain in the Network

whoops, /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/facter/hostname.rb
