domainname(1)               ONC/NFS 5.4 Rel. 2.01              domainname(1)


NAME
       domainname - set or display name of the current NIS domain

SYNOPSIS
       domainname [ name-of-domain ]

DESCRIPTION
       Without an argument, domainname displays the name of the current
       domain, which typically encompasses a group of hosts under the same
       administration.  As such, the name of an NIS domain is normally also
       a valid Internet domain name, and can be used in conjunction with
       sendmail(1M) and the name server named(1M).

       Only the superuser can set the name of the domain by giving
       domainname an argument; this is usually done in the startup script
       /usr/sbin/init.d/rc.ypserv using an argument defined in
       /etc/nfs.params.

SEE ALSO
       named(1M), sendmail(1M), ypinit(1M).
