Checking the NIS domain name

Checking the NIS domain name

Ensure that the NIS domain name is set to NULL by entering domainname at your prompt. If the screen returns anything other than NULL, enter domainname "". ypinit and mkdev nis do not enter the appropriate command in the NIS startup script unless your domain name is set to NULL. domainname(NC) sets or displays the name of the current NIS domain.
