It might be notable that Debian doesn't volunteer a domain name unless
it's able to contact DNS. I'll get onto nslookup, or just use temporary
text (it's only salt for a password hash, and is stored).
Have you tried using unit netdb from package fcl-net? It doesn't support
Windows (and some other platforms yet), but it should work for Unix
targets. I believe that the two approaches for finding out the domain are
either getting it from the DNS or having it specified in /etc/resolv (and
both are used by unit netdb - search for DefaultDomainList).
shouldn't the OS' lookup routines handle whether the value from HOSTS or DNS is
used automatically? i know that on some systems, one can specify to use HOSTS
first (ie: USE_HOSTS_FIRST=1 [OS2] or /etc/host.conf [*nix])... i've seen it in
winwhatever once upon a long time ago...
or am i misunderstanding this aspect and the apps used to perform DNS lookups
are reacting to this setting and using one value or the other depending on the
results returned from the initial query?
