Any idea which script this is? ive been looking for the past hour (with 
two other people) and can't find anything in fai setting defaultdomain.

i've grep -R domainname and defaultdomain on the extracted fai tarball 
and have no relevant results.

in fai-2.4.5 it was examples/simple/scripts/DEFAULT/S01 which had:

echo $YPDOMAIN > $target/etc/defaultdomain

all I can think of is that it's not fai, but nis package which you're 
now relying on creating this file by itself. Is this what you implied? 
because if it is, the $YPDOMAIN is kinda useless (unless I'm meant to 
keep the old NIS stuff in my own script which was in the fai-2.4.5 
example page).

I'm solving this currently with my own script and fcopy 
/etc/defaultdomain, I think I should stick with that instead of 
stressing over it, just wanted you to know theres a possibility 
something has changed in the beta release. :)

Thanks,

Nicolas.
