domainname command
domainname without any argument will display current domain-name of your system. domainname new-domain-name will set domain-name to argument "new-domain-name".

also you can get and set from procfs /proc/sys/kernel/domainname
above write-up is applicable for hostname as well!!!

lucas, please don't cross post and read the forum's rules. You have been answered at this thread. If you had posted pertinent details in the first place, as we kindly ask in the rules, you'd get the answer from me in my first post.
You have to change the line :
hostname="node1.domain.com"; then you have to reboot.
