I note that "domainname" is called from /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/nis.sh.
At point of invocation $UID and $EUID are 0 ....
I added a "sh" into /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/nis.sh to have a look.
Here getuid() and geteuid() return 0. whoami returns "root".
But when I run "domainname kingnet" I get the error:
"domainname: you must be root to change the domain name"
Also "su" states "su: incorrect password" without even
prompting for one. What is happening here ?
The environment variables are set by dhcp and do not have
the usual user environment variables ....
