 Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 3:40 pm Post subject: problems with setting domainname (FQDN) |
 |
|
Hi,
when I start my gentoo box (~x86) I get this login prompt:
| Code: | | This is inspiron.unknown_domain (Linux...) |
I think I get this since I used the cruft script to tidy up my installation. Perhaps I deleted something important, but maybe this is totally unrelated. Who knows?
Ok. Here are my configs: | Code: | (heimdall@inspiron)(7/pts/2)(05:21:06/11/05)-
(%:~/tmp)- cat /etc/conf.d/hostname
# /etc/conf.d/hostname
# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="inspiron"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(heimdall@inspiron)(7/pts/2)(05:21:06/11/05)-
(%:~/tmp)- cat /etc/conf.d/domainname
# /etc/conf.d/domainname
# If you wish to always override DHCP/whatever, set this to 1.
OVERRIDE=1
# To have a proper FQDN, you need to setup /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf
# properly (domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf, and FQDN in /etc/hosts).
DNSDOMAIN="nicundtas.de"
# This only set what /bin/hostname returns. If you need to setup NIS, meaning
# what /bin/domainname returns, please see:
NISDOMAIN="nicundtas.de"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(heimdall@inspiron)(7/pts/2)(05:21:06/11/05)-
(%:~/tmp)- cat /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.2.1 inspiron.nicundtas.de inspiron
141.26.64.104 linux.uni-koblenz.de linux penguin2
141.26.69.157 helena.uni-koblenz.de helena
# IPV6 versions of localhost and co
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(heimdall@inspiron)(21/pts/2)(05:31:06/11/05)-
(%:~/tmp)- cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 217.237.150.141
nameserver 217.237.150.97
domain nicundtas.de |
/etc/init.d/hostname is in runlevel boot, /etc/init.d/domainname is in runlevel default. During boot I can see that the scripts set them successfully ([ok]).
hostname and domainname work ok, but I cannot get my FQDN: | Code: | (heimdall@inspiron)(15/pts/2)(05:26:06/11/05)-
(%:~/tmp)- hostname
inspiron
(heimdall@inspiron)(16/pts/2)(05:26:06/11/05)-
(%:~/tmp)- domainname
nicundtas.de
(heimdall@inspiron)(17/pts/2)(05:26:06/11/05)-
(%:~/tmp)- hostname --fqdn
hostname: Unbekannter Rechner [in English: unknown host]
(heimdall@inspiron)(18/pts/2)(05:26:06/11/05)-
(%:~/tmp)- dnsdomainname
dnsdomainname: Unbekannter Rechner [in English: unknown host] |
I really don't know what I am doing wrong...
But the config files should be correct, I think. I didn't change things for a while and some weeks ago all worked fine.
As I sayed above I use a ~x86 system, 2005.0 profile: | Code: | sys-apps/baselayout-1.11.12-r4
sys-apps/net-tools-1.60-r11 |
So does anybody of you know what could be the problem? I don't have any ideas anymore. 
Much thanks in advance,
Tassilo |

| The first thing I can think of... have you made sure 192.168.2.1 is what's set up as your IP? What's the output of ifconfig? |

Ouch! My IP is 192.168.2.2, not 192.168.2.1! Now I've set /etc/hosts to the correct IP, but I still don't get my FQDN... |

Yes, seems so. Then let's wait for a new baselayout...

| Hmm, sorry, sort of forgot about this. I now checked my system, and I have the full domain name in /etc/conf.d/domainname. Could you try and see if that works? (So, set DOMAINNAME="inspiron.nicundtas.de" in there.) |

I think you mean | Code: | | DNSDOMAINNAME="inspiron.nicundtas.de" |
Right? Well, this doesn't change things for me...

I think I meant DNSDOMAIN  Sorry. |

Hihi! Seems to be hard to read. 
Nevertheless I've set DNSDOMAIN to the FQDN inspiron.nicundtas.de but it didn't change anything. |

| Obvious question, but have you restarted your computer? It shouldn't be necessary - restarting the initscripts should be enough - but it's good to make sure anyway. |

Yes. First I tried restarting the init scripts and when this didn't work I restarted the computer, but I didn't help anyway. |

Well, I don't see anything wrong with the configuration files you posted at all (I may be missing something though)... perhaps it's something else? | Code: | $ strace hostname -f 2>&1 | grep /etc
access("/etc/ld.so.preload", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/nsswitch.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "# /etc/nsswitch.conf:\n# $Header:"..., 4096) = 503
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("/etc/host.conf", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "# /etc/host.conf:\n# $Header: /va"..., 4096) = 1302
open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "# /etc/hosts: This file describ"..., 4096) = 75 |
So... what's in your nsswitch.conf and host.conf? |

Your nsswitch.conf is very different from mine. Mine is: | Code: | # /etc/nsswitch.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/nsswitch.conf,v 1.1 2005/05/17 00:52:41 vapier Exp $
passwd: compat
shadow: compat
group: compat
# passwd: db files nis
# shadow: db files nis
# group: db files nis
hosts: files dns
networks: files dns
services: db files
protocols: db files
rpc: db files
ethers: db files
netmasks: files
netgroup: files
bootparams: files
automount: files
aliases: files |
I have never modified this file manually that I can remember.
Any luck for you if you restore it to the default ($PORTDIR/sys-libs/glibc/files/nsswitch.conf)? (I'm again not sure if rebooting is necessary.) |

Hey, you're my hero! After doing that and restarting /etc/init.d/domainname hostname -f and dnsdomainname work as expected!
But I really can't remember changing anything in my nsswitch.conf... 
Thanks a lot!
