No I am not running NIS (and never have). My system contains a symlink
/bin/domainname -> hostname , but I can't find out where it came from. You
could also use /bin/dnsdomainname , which is in the 'hostname' package and
which is a hard link to /bin/hostname.
So, you'd have this in /etc/init.d/boot or /etc/init.d/hostname.sh :
hostname --file /etc/hostname
dnsdomainname --file /etc/domainname
And I don't think you'll need to reboot for it to work. Just run the
command as root and see what happens.
