33 You're right.
34
35 I've got:
36
37 # Alle Interfaces
38 modules=( "ifconfig" )
39 dns_servers="130.171.200.151 130.171.157.129"
40 dns_search="dewup.europe europe"
41 dns_domain="dewup.europe"
42 ntp_servers="130.171.200.145 130.171.200.144"
43 nis_domain="wup.de"
44 nis_servers="10.233.7.240"
45
46 # eth0 - LAN
47 config_eth0=( "10.233.7.145 netmask 255.255.248.0 broadcast 10.233.7.255" )
48 routes_eth0=( "default via 10.233.0.250" )
49
50 And this does work. As you can see, I've got dns_domain="dewup.europe" and when
51 I run "hostname -d", I get the expected result - dewup.europe.

56 The point has been explained.

59
60 The domainname. But you haven't set one. You've set the DNS domainname. domainname
61 doesn't return the DNS domainname as the documentation clearly states. See "hostname
62 --help" or "domainname --help".

66
67 Actually, I find it quite clear. The documentation states what needs to be
68 done and it states, what the commands return. It seems, that you've used
69 the wrong command.
