DEFAULTDOMAIN(5) File Formats and Configurations DEFAULTDOMAIN(5)
NAME
defaultdomain - specify host's domain name
SYNOPSIS
/etc/defaultdomainDESCRIPTION
The file
/etc/defaultdomain determines a host's domain name for
direct use by the
NIS name service. The
defaultdomain file is read at
boot time and its contents used by the
domainname(8) command.
Because of its use by
domainname,
defaultdomain is also used by the
LDAP service (see
ldap(1)). Under certain, narrow circumstances (see
resolv.conf(5)), because
domainname uses
defaultdomain, a
DNS client
can use the contents of
defaultdomain.
The contents of
defaultdomain consists of a single line containing a
host's domain name.

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