Code Listing 2.2: Setting the domainname

# nano -w /etc/conf.d/net

(Set the dns_domain variable to your domain name)
dns_domain_lo="homenetwork"

Note: If you choose not to set a domainname, you can get rid of the "This is hostname.(none)" messages at your login screen by editing /etc/issue. Just delete the string .\O from that file.

If you have a NIS domain (if you don't know what that is, then you don't have one), you need to define that one too:

Code Listing 2.3: Setting the NIS domainname

# nano -w /etc/conf.d/net

(Set the nis_domain variable to your NIS domain name)
nis_domain_lo="my-nisdomain"

Problem:

The file doesn't exist, at least not at this stage of the installation.
