When I start spock, it identifies the local host as being in the “tamu.edu” domain, and Im not. Whats wrong?
This indicates that your machine is configured incorrectly and it can’t find the correct local domain, so it is falling back to the SP_DOMAIN variable defined in $SPOCK/Spockrc. As shipped, this variable is set to “tamu.edu”. You can fix this problem by changing SP_DOMAIN in $SPOCK/Spockrc to refer to your local domain.
