Drove me crazy too before I discovered $LOCALDOMAIN lurking at the end of the resolv.conf manpage. echo 'export LOCALDOMAIN="dom1.com dom2.org"' >>/etc/profile Via ~/.bash_profile it even lets me set my domain search path on machines where I don't have root. When on my laptop, regardless of location (Starbucks, on a train, or visiting a client), I want foohost to mean foohost.mydomain. I think that's a common case, so maybe Anaconda (and/or s-c-n) should have an option for entering a default domain search path to override the DHCP one, save that value into /etc/sysconfig/foo, and then /etc/profile could pick up that value as the system-wide default for $LOCALDOMAIN. -- Chris Tyler http://chris.tylers.info -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
