mblanco2000 0 Posted December 7, 2003 I am running RH9 and am very new. I am trying to set the domain name on the machine so that it has the same domain name for the interface eth1. I know I can just type domainname <name> when it starts up but how would I set the domain name and the hostname everytime it boots up. Thanks for the help. MB Share this post Link to post
chrispope 0 Posted January 22, 2004 I run SuSE 9.0 and I know for a fact that it can run, at boot time, a custom script that is very hassle free to edit and execute. Go, as root user, and find /etc/init.d/boot.local if it's there; if that file is there then go to the end of it with your favorite text editor and add your command that sets your domain name as if you were at the console. If all goes well, save the file, reboot, and the instant before your computer switches to your preselected runlevel, your command will run. Share this post Link to post
