[SunHELP] Changing Domainname

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

I presume you are talking about the NIS domainname.
If so, Kill any yp process running as root.
Change /etc/defaultdomain  with the new domian name.
Update your /etc/hosts file with the new NIS servers you will be pointing to.
Run ypinit, so yp will look at the new servers and restart your NIS processes
(ypbind, ypserve as needed)


If it is your DNS domain,that has to be changed on your DNS master first.
Then configure /etc/resolv.conf for a new domain and search and possibly
pointing to a new DNS server pair/triplet.
Should not have to restart anything.
