nisdomainname

domainname(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     domainname(8)

NAME

       domainname - set or display name of current domain
       nisdomainname - set or display name of current NIS(YP) domain
       ypdomainname - set or display name of current NIS(YP) domain

SYNOPSYS

       domainname [ domain ]
       nisdomainname [ domain ]
       ypdomainname [ domain ]

DESCRIPTION

       Without	 an   argument,  domainname  displays  the name of the current NIS domainname of the system.  domainname uses the getdomainname(2)
       function for getting the domainname, nisdomainname and ypdomainname are using yp_get_default_domain(3).

       Only the super-user can set the name of the domain by specifying the new domain as an argument. All three  programs  uses  setdomainname(2)
       for this. Bear in mind, that already running programs may continue to use the old domainname.

SEE ALSO

       getdomainname(2), setdomainname(2), yp_get_default_domain(3), ypbind(8), ypcat(1), ypmatch(1), ypwhich(1), yppoll(8), ypserv(8), yset(8)

AUTHOR

       domainname is part of the yp-tools package, which was written by Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>.
