Hi all,
I am running centos 5.1 and I wish to change the domain name and dnsdomainname of my PC. currently the settings are--
$ hostname sipx.com $ hostname --fqdn sipx.com $ domainname (none) $ dnsdomainname com
I have searched in the net for tips but everywhere only the hostname change is provided. I need to change/set the domain name and the dnsdomain name on my pc to sipx.com and this should be a permanent one across system reboots. Please let me know how to do this. The domain name settings are required for a networking/ SIP telephony applications that I am running but it is internally in the LAN, so I think the name sipx.com if chosen as my pc's domain name will not cause any conflict with the external domain names in the Internet.
Thank You
Pls edit this
/etc/sysconfig/network

sure, this would help? I think his problem results from the fact that he's using a domain name as the hostname.
Use a "real" hostname like "hostname.sipx.com" as the hostname and your problem will be gone.

I would think that running system-config-network, system-config-network-cmd, system-config-network-gui, or system-config-network-tui would be the way to go. But I haven't run these manually for awhile, so I might be wrong.

Hi all, Thanks for the replies with the dnsdomainname settings, it works fine now, I would however, like to set the domainname (not the dnsdomainname) as well which is also called the NIS/YP domainname. Please let me know how.
Thanks, Padmaja

Why? Are you running NIS? If not, it won't be set and you don't need to worry about it.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/network Restart
Hi, thanks for the reply, I sometime back changed the hostname using the /etc/sysconfig/network only. However, that only has 2 lines in it- Networking=Yes, Hostname=sipx.com
Where can I edit the dnsdomainname and domainname variables? I do not see those variables in /etc/hosts or /etc/sysconfig/network.
Thank You

IF you have 3 names in your host name it will work ... it will not work with just 2 names.
you need host.domain.com
right now, your host is sipx ... you have NO DOMAIN NAME except .com
you can easily then also set and alias in /etc/hosts to sipx.com ... and also use an alias in apache as well.
If you use a proper FQDN with 3 names then everything will "JUST WORK" ....
Take this name that I use: myth.home.local
$ hostname myth.home.local
$ hostname --fqdn myth.home.local
$ dnsdomainname home.local
Note: use also used the domainname command, that command has nothing to do with dns names, but with "the system’s NIS/YP domain name".
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

I would just like to note a mild warning here about using the ".local" domain.
Systems that implement multicast DNS (mDNS) often reserve the ".local" domain for mDNS lookups (whether this is good or bad has been in dispute). Multicast DNS allows lookup of hosts on the local host by querying all machines on the local network rather than by using a local nameserver.
A box with mDNS turned on will look up ".local" names using mDNS instead of the default nameserver. Both Apple and SuSE systems are configured to have mdns turned on by default.
Before we knew this, we set up our intranet using a ".local" domain. Later, when we added Macs and a lone SuSE system, we found they could not do ".local" lookups in some circumstances. We ended up having to fiddle with the settings on those machines. See for example: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107800.
In retrospect, using "lan" or ".site" or something else would have been better. Since we have our own domain and run our own nameservers, we could also have used something like intranet.ourdomain.com.
