Greetings; I was just asked by a friend how to go about setting the machines domain name as returned by the 'domainname' command, and have it survive over a reboot, rather like the hostname now survives. So how does one go about that? The manpages seem a little hazy on this subject. Thanks -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
