NAME

6       defaultdomain - specify host's domain name
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /etc/defaultdomain
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  file /etc/defaultdomain determines a host's domain name for direct
14       use by the NIS and NIS+ name services. The defaultdomain file  is  read
15       at  boot  time  and  its  contents  used by the domainname(1M) command.
16       Because of its use by domainname, defaultdomain is  also  used  by  the
17       LDAP  service  (see  ldap(1)). Under certain, narrow circumstances (see
18       resolv.conf(4)), because domainname uses defaultdomain,  a  DNS  client
19       can use the contents of defaultdomain.
20
21
22       The  contents  of  defaultdomain consists of a single line containing a
23       host's domain name.

NOTES

30       The  defaultdomain file is created and modified by Solaris installation
31       and configuration scripts. Only users  knowledgeable  of  name  service
32       configuration should edit the file.
