[gentoo-user] YP domain name in baselayout 1.12

[gentoo-user] YP domain name in baselayout 1.12

[Fredrik Tolf]

Hi list!

I just noticed that /etc/init.d/domainname has disappeared in baselayout 
1.12, but I can't find what is supposed to replace it.

So, in short: How am I supposed to set my YP domain name with the new 
baselayout?

Thanks for your time!

It is now set in /etc/conf.d/net

Oh, I see. That explains why I hadn't found it, as well (I had been
grepping through /etc/init.d after domainname and hostname, but
not /lib/rcscripts/net). Thank you very much for clearing that up for
me!

That does lead me to another question, though -- the
interface-boundedness of these settings makes me a bit suspicious.
Will /etc/init.d/net.* start rewriting /etc/resolv.conf
and/or /etc/yp.conf for me or something like that, and will the NIS
domain name be kept unset if net.eth0 fails to start for some or another
reason?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer since I don't actually use those
settings. Hopefully, someone else knows the answer.

>From browsing /lib/rcscripts/net, it looks like you can get the old
behavior by binding to the lo interface.  So use nis_domain_lo,
nis_servers_lo, etc....
