Hi,
I have been getting the message "/etc/rc: WARNING: domainname(1) is not set" every time I boot one of my machines.
It is a 5.1-CURRENT system but I have not updated since June 15.


I have been ignoring this for some time because I have been trying to get DDNS to work.
I thought it was related to my DDNS problem. Now that I have DDNS working (finally) I was supprised to see the message still appearing.





It says domainname(1) for a reason :-) ^^^^

Domainname has nothing to do with DNS, it's talking about your NIS
domain name. You are trying to use one of the yp* daemons without
first setting your NIS domain. You need domainname="..." in rc.conf.

Cheers.


(sigh) OK.  I feel stupid...
I was looking all over for a DNS problem.  :-/
I commented out the entry to enable the nis client and that took care of it.
I must have selected it by mistake when I built this system.
Thanks...
