Well... But what Mick showed was the expected behaviour. He has NOT set a domainname - at least not the domainname that the "domainname" command would return. domainname --help clearly shows, what domainname will return: The *NIS* domainname. This always used to be the case and=20 hopefully always will be the case. With dns_domain, the DNS domainname is set. And that's returned by dnsdomainname (or hostname -d).
