identify domain

[Birbone]

How do I identiy the domain of a server?

I'm not sure that 'domain' has any real meaning for a true Unix system. If you're running a Unix like shell on a windows system try

se | grep -i domain

on my PC running Cygwin I get

$ set | grep -i domain
USERDNSDOMAIN=GB001.MEGACORP.NET
USERDOMAIN=GB001

Hmm...

More info. On my RedHat ES4 system the command 'dnsdomainname' returns the domain so it looks like my initial contention tha tUnix doesn't understand domains was wrong.

Incidentally I found this by using the 'apropos' command which looks through the man pages and I got

$ apropos domain
