Setting domain name for SUSE
 
Hi,

i have installed SUSE 11 recently and have set the domain name and netmask using YaST settings after installation.

But, the domain name is empty after rebooting. I have verified this using domainname command from terminal. But, in Network settings it is there.

I think the system is not picking up the domain name from YaST settings.

Quick Reply please

Hi,

What is the output of:
Code:

hostname --fqdn

The command "domainname" returns the NIS domain name, and you didn't configure NIS through the network devices panel in Yast. NIS is a whole other ball of wax.

If you want to verify your DNS domain name, you can use the commands dnsdomainname or hostname -d.
