shouldn't matter
>Description:
domainname(1) still reads (on 7.x and 8.x at least, haven't checked 6.x)

"The super-user can set the domain name by supplying an argument; this is usually done in the network initialization script /etc/rc.network, normally run at boot time."

as /etc/rc.network doesn't exist anymore, it seems that this statement was obsoleted by the rc.d framework and should rather point to rc.conf's nisdomainname="..." now IMHO
>How-To-Repeat:
man domainname
