 Posted: Sun Dec 19, 2004 3:26 am Post subject: /etc/hosts format |
 |
|
I don't know what should I write for my box in /etc/hosts .
1.The box is named 'charlie'
2.The internal domain is .lan and the box is named ns.server.lan
3.The external domain is mayday.gotdns.org
Is this correct: ?
| Code: |
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.247 server.lan charlie
82.76.25.14 mayday.gotdns.org

The box is named charlie and ns internally? What does hostname -s and hostname --fqdn return?

That's a strange domain name. I've never had an fqdn of only two parts (i.e. just host and tld). For instance my hostname is rome and my domain is vatican.com (note the two parts). So my /etc/hosts looks like this:
| Code: | 127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.1 rome.vatican.com rome
|
My /etc/hostname looks like this:
My /etc/dnsdomainname and /etc/domainname both look like this:

I'm talking about my router, who's acting like a named server as well. And Yes, I have 2 NIC's.

You've got /etc/conf.d/net set up and it brings both NICs up correctly?

Yees. There's no problem with my network, but would like to know if my /etc/hosts file is set-up corectly , as someone told me he couldn't surf my website because he was redirected to 'charlie'. Can you surf a bit to my site and see if it's all OK? http://*edited*.gotdns.org

So it's all ok. Thanks.
P.S. There's nothing interesting right there. Mostly are bills and obligations for the users
P.P.S. Can you edit my site name in your quote, as I have a small bandwidth and don't want to load it.
