Domainname = 'home', not sudo nano /etc/sysctl.d/399-chickenkiller.conf

Help and Support

hi

All of a sudden my (higher number than the other entries) .conf in /etc/sysctl.d seems to have be over-ridden.

Domainname command reports my domain name as ‘home’, not the one i’ve manually specified. Hostname reports correctly.

Forum searches seem to indicate router is somehow issuing a domain name???. (I just got a new router yesterday!) My OSMC is set to DHCP, however i’m kind of sure DHCP can’t issue a domain name, and yet issue coincides with yesterday’s new router deployment. I’m reasonably sure that my Pi isn’t joining a router domain called ‘home’, and I’ve searched the router config pages for settings which might somehow be issuing a domain name.

Any suggestions?

Cheers, Geoff.

It’s probably issued by your router as you say. /etc/resolv.conf might show this.

The domain name is passed as a DHCP plain text option

Yep. Thanks for quick reply, and noted regarding DHCP. Can i over-ride in OSMC? I’ve looked in My OSMC>Network>Wired>Configure Network Manually.

Perhaps i could edit connection manager conf file to ignore router?

Thanks again, Geoff.

We use ConnMan as our connection manager. There may be a setting to change this, but I’m not sure.

If you want your Pi to really join a domain, i.e become a member of AD, you need to use something like PBIS/LO/Samba
