    I'm wondering how the NIS domain name actually gets set.
    I don't see a reference to domain name when running the script.

    hostnameofmachine# ypinit -m

    In order for NIS to operate sucessfully, we have to construct a list of the
    NIS servers. Please continue to add the names for YP servers in order of
    preference, one per line. When you are done with the list, type a <control D>
    or a return on a line by itself.
            next host to add: hostnameofmachine
          
          I want the domain name to be something other than the host name of the
    machine.

    I also noticed this file

    /var/yp/binding/hostnameofmachine/ypservers

    which contains the name of the NIS domain which I think gets created
    after running ypinit -m????
