I want to change the domainname of my computer.
I wrote the write domain in /etc/dnsdomainname but it doesn't work.
Which is the right place to write it?
Thanks a lot,
Luigi

Did you run "/etc/init.d/domainname restart" ?
Might even require a reboot...

Should be OK; that's where mine is.  Look at /etc/init.d/domainname 
for guidance and do: rc-update add domainname boot.

try also

env-update
source /etc/profile

also you may want to add a similar row to /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost hostname hostname.domainname

I have a statics ip address too assigned by dhcp.
I tried to write this line with my ip address and all works now ( I 
rebooted the computer for other problems...)
Thanks a lot,
Luigi

the reboot has done the same as env-update I think (not sure), adding 
that line may be usefull also to the processes that wants to know your 
full address, without going to ask it at a dns server (if I'm wrong 
please someone correct me)

the methods and the order of  the methods that a linux system use are 
setted in /etc/host.conf

ciao

As I understand it, your computer needs the 127.0.0.1 line for some
programs to function properly. If you want to hard-define your local
hostname to the IP address you're being persistently assigned via DHCP, 
you should add that as a 2nd line.
