Checking the NIS domain name
Ensure that the NIS domain name is set to NULL
by entering domainname at your prompt.
If the screen returns anything other than NULL,
enter domainname "".
ypinit and mkdev nis do not enter the appropriate
command in the NIS startup script unless your domain
name is set to NULL.
domainname(NC)
sets or displays the name of the current NIS domain.
