defaultdomain(4) File Formats defaultdomain(4)NAMEdefaultdomain - specify host's domain name
SYNOPSIS
/etc/defaultdomain
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/defaultdomain determines a host's domain name for direct
use by the NIS name service. The defaultdomain file is read at boot
time and its contents used by the domainname(1M) command. Because of
its use by domainname, defaultdomain is also used by the LDAP service
(see ldap(1)). Under certain, narrow circumstances (see
resolv.conf(4)), because domainname uses defaultdomain, a DNS client
can use the contents of defaultdomain.
The contents of defaultdomain consists of a single line containing a
host's domain name.

The defaultdomain file is created and modified by Solaris installation
and configuration scripts. Only users knowledgeable of name service
configuration should edit the file.
