 Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2007 7:21 pm Post subject: lo netscript overwrites custom resov.conf on boot (solved) |
 |
|
this is fresh install
when i boot up i can ping inside my network, but i can't ping outside (google.com)
i've found that my resolv.conf is being overwritten on each boot
my resolv.conf looks like this after i boot up
| Code: | # cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by net-scripts for interface lo
domain basement |
if i add a nameserver entry to resolv.conf, the problem is fixed, and i can ping outside my network
| Code: | # echo 'nameserver 192.168.2.1' >> /etc/resolv.conf
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by net-scripts for interface lo
domain basement
nameserver 192.168.2.1 |
i am here because I have never had this happen before and am unfamiliar with how to stop "net-scripts for interface lo" from re-writing resolv.conf each time i boot.
here is my /etc/conf.d/net, if it is of anyhelp
| Code: | # cat /etc/conf.d/net
# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
dns_domain_lo="basement"
config_eth0=( "192.168.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.2.1" ) |
i'd think that this is just a simple problem, i'm just not familiar with whats happening here.
thanks alot.

Hello! here's your problem. When you specify
| Quote: | | dns_domain_lo="basement" |
that makes the net initscripts start up lo, and in the process they overwrite resolv.conf. Instead of putting that line there, edit /etc/hosts to list your fqdn. the section on eth0
| Quote: | config_eth0=( "192.168.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.2.1" ) |
doesn't supply nameservers and doesn't use DHCP (which would find out the nameservers for you) so it doesn't overwrite resolv.conf.

To set your domain name, you can use the method described in Gentoo Linux x86 Quick Install Guide
| Quote: | Set your host and domain name
Set your host name in /etc/conf.d/hostname and /etc/hosts. In the following example, we use mybox as host name and at.myplace as domain name. You can either edit the config files with nano or use the following commands:
Code Listing 2.18: Set host and domain name | Code: | livecd / # cd /etc
livecd etc # echo "127.0.0.1 mybox.at.myplace mybox localhost" > hosts
livecd etc # sed -i -e 's/HOSTNAME.*/HOSTNAME="mybox"/' conf.d/hostname
(Use defined host name and check)
livecd etc # hostname mybox
livecd etc # hostname -f
mybox.at.myplace |
|
To set up name servers, use | Code: | | dns_servers_eth0="192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3" |
though, if you're not using DHCP, you can just as easily put them in your /etc/resolv.conf | Code: | nameserver 192.168.0.2
nameserver 192.168.0.3 |
since net.eth0 will only overwrite it if you use "dns_domain_eth0".
