domainname(1M)   SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION COMMANDS    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.  root privileges are required to
     use  the domainname command with an argument.  In this form,
     the command sets the  name  of  the  secure  RPC  domain  to
     newname.  newname may be up to 255 characters long.  domain-
     name is normally run by the  network  administrator  on  all
     machines  using secure RPC to set the name of the secure RPC
     domain.  To use secure RPC, machines must have a secure  RPC
     domain name.

NOTES
     Secure RPC domain names are not related to ans 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 remem-
     bered across reboots.  To give a machine a "permanent" name,
     set  the  SRPCDOMAIN tunable in /etc/master.d/kernel to the
     secure RPC domain name.
