domainname(1)                     ONC R4.11                    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 a user with appropriate privilege 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.

       For systems supporting the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate
       privilege is defined as having one or more specific capabilities
       enabled in the effective capability set of the user.  See
       capdefaults(5) for the default capabilities for this command.

       On systems without the DG/UX Capability Option, appropriate privilege
       means that your process has an effective UID of root. See the
       appropriateprivilege(5) man page for more information.
