domainname command
Hey,
I've been on this for a while... can somebody explain to me what the domainname command really does. The man pages don't tell enough. And how can i have the domain name set so it will be the same all the time when the OS boots up.

If I type domainname tesT.com, will this be added to /etc/defaultdomain or do I need to add manually on /etc/defaultdomain as well?...second question, if I type domainname tesT.com...is it case sensitive?

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.
