Without knowing the package, I suppose it is interested in the DNS
domain of the machine. The command "domainname" deals with NIS/YP
domains and also LDAP, nowadays. Those domain names are not necessarily
connected to the DNS domain.
I think it is wrong to use domainname here, but on the other hand I
think there is no canonical way to determine the DNS domain.
