 |
|
Like the subject says, mit-krb5 fails to emerge if the test phase is enabled, presumably because my machine is behind a router and thus has no FQDN.
Is it possible to assign a FQDN to machines in a private network using .local? I can't seem to find any guides for it.
Obviously, I can get around the test phase, but I would like to solve it rather than dodge it if possible. Thanks, cheers.

Hostname: prison
Host address: 127.0.0.1
FQDN: localhost
Resolve library did not return a fully qualified domain name.
If you are using /etc/hosts before DNS, e.g. "files" is listed first
for "hosts:" in nsswitch.conf, ensure that you have listed the FQDN
as the first name for the local host.
If this does not correct the problem, you may have to reconfigure the kerberos
distribution to select a different set of libraries using
--with-netlib[=libs]

kerberos makes extensive use of DNS reverse lookups to match IP addresses back to hostnames (and principal names).
I guess the problem I you case is, that the forward lookup name (prison) does not match the reverse lookup (localhost). Just add your hostname prinson to the 127.0.0.1 line in /etc/hosts.
From memory, mit-krb5 can be installed without a functioning dns (bind) infrastructure, but it has bee some time since I last did it.

Although I already had "prison" on the 127.0.0.1 line, I tried making it the first host name but to no avail. It really seems to be the fact that "prison" or "localhost" is not a FQDN.
Can I set a domain name in /etc/conf.d/network somehow? The example file only shows that NIS users can set domainname="foobar", of which I assume that I am not one.
My router has an option to set a domain name, but the documentation says that is only if my ISP specifies it. |
