DEFAULTDOMAIN(5)	   Linux Programmer's Manual	      DEFAULTDOMAIN(5)

NAME
       defaultdomain - file which contains the NIS/YP domain name

DESCRIPTION
       /etc/defaultdomain is used by the boot scripts to set the NIS/YP domain
       name for a system as returned by	 the  getdomainname(2)	function.  The
       file contains one line with the name of the domain.

       Unlike DNS hostnames and domain names, the NIS domain name is case-sen‐
       sitive! The NIS domain name must not be the  same  as  the  DNS	domain
       name, but for some services like NIS+ it should be the same.

       Even  if the domain name is often called NIS/YP domain name, it is also
       used from other protocols, not only NIS/YP.

FILES
       /etc/defaultdomain /etc/init.d/boot.localnet

SEE ALSO
       domainname(1), init.d(7), init(8),  nisdomainname(1),  ypdomainname(1),
       ypbind(8), ypserv(8), ypwhich(1)
