domainname(1M)                   UNIX System V                   domainname(1M)


NAME
      domainname - get/set name of current secure RPC domain

SYNOPSIS
      domainname [ newname ]

DESCRIPTION
      The domainname command is used on secure RPC machines.  With no argument,
      the name of the machine's secure RPC domain is written to standard
      output.

      The domainname command with an argument sets the name of the secure RPC
      domain to newname.  newname may be up to 255 characters long.

      domainname is normally run by the RPC administrator on all machines to
      set the name of the secure RPC domain.  To use secure RPC, machines must
      have secure RPC domain names.

NOTES
      Secure RPC domain names are not related to and should not be confused
      with RFS domains.

      The RPC package expects the newname argument to be a valid filename for
      the underlying file system in use on the networked machines using secure
      RPC.  For example, machines based on the s5 file system should not have
      domain names longer than 14 characters in length or problems may occur
      when using secure RPC.

      The secure RPC domain name set by domainname will not be remembered
      across reboots.  To give a machine a "permanent" name, set the
      SRPCDOMAIN tunable in /etc/master.d/name to the secure RPC domain name.
