domain-name option during the installation of Debian

Hi, during the installation of Debian, one is asked for "domain name". Only place where it seems to be used is for completing the FQDN's: root@localhost:~# find / \( \( -path "/proc" -o -path "/sys" \) -a -prune \) -o \( -type f -a -exec grep -iH "lab.net" {} \; \) /var/log/installer/status:Maint

Re: domain-name option during the installation of Debian

Scott, what I meant with this ping example is that domain name provided during the installation(lab.net in my case) seems to be in use only in one place which is the /etc/network/interfaces file "dns-search" line. This means that if I execute "host www", it asks DNS server for A record for www.lab

Re: questions about password safes
