Problem with domainname

rot · 08-06-2003, 11:16 AM

Hi!

I set up a new RH 9.0 box and I'm meeting a strange problem:

When I reboot, the box forgets its domainname and can't start ypbind. When I log in as root (my account ist distributed by NIS and so not available), set the domainname via "domainname <domain>" an start ypbind, everything is fine.

But why does it always forget the domainname? Did I miss any entry?

Greetings, rot

Change it in:
/etc/sysconfig/network

as said above, you can check /etc/sysconfig/network or edit the /etc/rc.local file and add the command

domainname YOUR_DOMAIN

Hi!

My /etc/sysconfig/network contains

==
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=aldea.intern.net
DOMAINNAME=caxopen
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
==

This should be ok, but ist still doesn't work.

My /etc/yp.conf contains the following line:

==
domain caxopen server 192.168.1.4
==

So this entry ist also correct. But evertime I reboot the machine, "domainname" tells me "(none)"...

Any other ideas?

Try changing DOMAINNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network

to NISDOMAINNAME

or NISDOMAIN

can remember which when exactly
