Description Steingold, Sam 1999-04-28 17:35:00 UTC 
DOMAINNAME set in /etc/sysconfig/network is ignored in
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.  The following patch fixes the
problem:

*** /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.old    Wed Apr 28 13:31:31 1999
--- /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit        Wed Apr 28 13:32:46 1999

*** 61,67 ****
  if [ -n "$NISDOMAIN" ]; then
      action "Setting NIS domain name $NISDOMAIN" domainname
$NISDOMAIN
  else
!     domainname ""
  fi

  if [ -f /fsckoptions ]; then

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 1999-04-28 18:00:59 UTC 
why would you want to set the NIS domain name if you
aren't using NIS?
Comment 2 Steingold, Sam 1999-04-28 18:08:59 UTC 
allright, make it dnsdomainname, not domainname.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 1999-04-28 21:43:59 UTC 
You can't set the dnsdomainname. (see the man page...)
