In my (competing ;-) FAQ I advise people to leave the domainname field
empty in the rc.conf file because AFAIK it is only used for NIS.  Can
someone comment on what that field is actually used for and when it would
be needed?

In any case it probably is *not* the internet domain for the computer
(though it might be by coincidence).  It replaces the old
/etc/defaultdomain file.  The internet domain is determined by the
directives in /etc/resolv.conf.

Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
