It's _never_ in /etc/yp.conf - always in /etc/defaultdomain.
The name is an inheritance from Sun, they invented NIS and
on Solaris the NIS domainname is stored in /etc/defaultdomein.
_I_ checked before I posted. I've used yp for years. here's what the man
page says:
yp.conf(5)
yp.conf(5)
NAME
/etc/yp.conf - NIS binding configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/yp.conf is read from ypbind(8) at startup or when
receiv-
ing signal SIGHUP. The entries are used for the initial
binding.
Valid entries are
domain nisdomain server hostname
Use server hostname for the domain nisdomain. You
could have
more then one entry of this type for a single domain.
there's more, I'll leave you to check:-)
