 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.
