domainname(NC)


domainname -- set or display name of current Network Information Service (NIS) domain

Syntax

domainname [ nameofdomain ]

Description

Without an argument, domainname displays the name of the current NIS domain. Only the super user can set the domainname by giving an argument; this is usually done in the startup script, /etc/nis. Currently, domains are only used by the Network Information Service to refer collectively to a group of hosts.
