Re: How does cfengine figure out the domainname?

[Doug J Nordwall]

reading the code, I figured out that it does check uname through a
function call.

Could you elaborate on the "various methods"?

And it sounds like I could put the domain variable in a file somewhere
an import that into cfengine.

Suddenly, after having to deal with scali, as well as cfengine, and
having a sister in Norway (married a Norweigan) I feel the need to move
on to Oslo time.
