Hello,
Does anyone know why uname always returns "unknown" for the (yp)domainname? Every Linux system that I have ever built or booted seems to provide all the information except the domainname, regardless of whether it is or isn't set. For example:
% ypdomainname ;uname -a main Linux terror 2.0.33 #6 Tue Aug 25 16:55:08 PDT 1998 i586 unknown %
% ypdomainname ;uname -a
Linux earth 2.2.0-final #15 Thu Jan 21 09:57:07 PST 1999 alpha unknown %
I've tried with the latest sh-utils I could find, but perhaps I have done something wrong? Or, is this a kernel issue?
thanks, -bp -- B. James Phillippe . bryan@terran.org Linux Engineer/Admin . http://www.terran.org/~bryan Member since 1.1.59 . finger:bryan@earth.terran.org
