DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
