It is possible to run openSUSE without a domain name. Networking and all works fine.
However, if you run yast to configure a network device, it insists on the domain name being set before it will accept any changes. This seems more of a policy issue than a requirement to run a system. Why?
Things like the HOST and HOSTNAME environment variables are effected by this. One needs to set a temp domain name in yast, and then remove it with a call to hostnamectl.
It would be nice if yast2 allowed the domain name to remain empty if it was so when yast was started. I think this started in oS 12.3. Anyone know if it is the same in oS 13.1 (I can't test it yet...)?
Hi I gave up on this years ago. It's broken. Not just that but have you noticed that when you use yast, the fqdn is written to /etc/HOSTNAME? hostname returns the fqdn. Disaster! That really screws up anything dns critical like Kerberos. Just don't use yast I'm afraid.
