I would like to lock the /etc/hosts file somehow in a way that only someone else can unlock it, possibly using a lock code.I would then give the passcode to someone else.I'm running Ubuntu 10.10.
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to use ssh-keyscan to get some known_host file population going on, but I have a ton of hosts I want to scan, all with multiple aliases in /etc/hosts. Is there a way to use my current /etc/hosts file to do an ssh-keyscan instead of making a special list of hosts that (from what I've read) ssh-keyscan needs?

I have, I am assuming in it's place, hosts.allow and hosts.deny. Can anyone explain why I do not have a hosts file?

I've trying to get dnsmasq working as a combined dns and dhcp server. It's infuriating so far... In short, the DNS works fine for anything added to /etc/hosts, and the dhcp works fine, but the dhcp is not updating the dns with hostname information from clients.
The outcome of this is that i can only ping a node by hostname if i know it's address, which means setting a static dhcp allocation and putting the hostname into /etc/hosts manually, which is very annoying and kind of defeats the poit of dhcp. There must be a way to get dnsmasq to update the hosts file, surely The clients aren't using fqdn's if that matters, and i think i've tried every combinination of "expand-hosts" and "domain=" following is the dnsmasq config file contents:
domain-needed
bogus-priv
except-interface=tun0

I was having a discussion with someone who asked me whether a Linux OS has to be rebooted when the hosts file is modified. From personal experience, on Windows I change the file but don't reboot and I've seen others do the same thing. I assume Linux has no exception(s), but is there any reason why a reboot is not required (to at least justify my actions)?

Well, as many proxy applications, GNOME Network Proxy Preferences only allow to ignore hosts. What I want to do is exactly the opposite. I only want to use the proxy for few sites. Is it possible to define only the allowed hosts in any way?
PS: I know FoxyProxy add-on for Firefox does this, but 1)I don't use Firefox and 2)I want the proxy settings system wide not only for browser.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm configuring Apache to work from several development directories as per these instructions: http://tuxtweaks.com/2009/07/how-to-...-apache-linux/
Got it all to work ok, for a while but then when I reboot the entries I've made in the hosts file dissapear and I can no longer use them.
I'm assuming DHCP reverts the hosts file or something?
What's the 'proper' way to get an entry into a hosts file and have it stay there?
I often manually add a troublesome domain (e.g., advertisements, fake virus alerts, etc.) to my /etc/hosts file on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid; but the effect isn't immediate.My hosts file is already fifteen thousand lines long (having combined all the hosts files I could find on the net, including the MVP one); but I still, almost daily, find a new irritant to add to my /etc/hosts file.My problem is I do not understand WHEN the /etc/hosts file is next read after a change.I've been rebooting to make sure the hosts is re-read; but there must be a simpler way.My question:
- WHEN is the /etc/hosts file reconsidered in Ubuntu?
- Is there a way to have the /etc/hosts file re-read sooner?
Is it possible to have different /etc/hosts file for different network connections without having to go in and change it every time? The why: I have dyndns and port forwarding to get to my desktop. My laptop is sometimes on the same network, and sometimes not. Also, sometimes the dyndns doesn't update properly, or the outside connection is down, but I want to get to my desktop (and I'm too lazy to walk up the stairs). I'd like to be able to keep one set of bookmarks, ssh command aliases, etc. that would always get to it the fastest and most reliable way possible.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI run a few virtual servers at home behind a NAT, including an e-mail server, with dynamically updated dns records pointing to each of the servers. Consequently, I suffer from the loopback problem when working with these servers from my desktop PC. (E.g., I ping one of the dns hostnames and the ping goes to my router instead of the server). I fixed this problem by manually adding the in-home IP addresses and name pairs to my /etc/hosts, and then setting /etc/host.conf to a "hosts, bind" order.
This seems to work for every application on my desktop except for one: the postfix installation on my desktop PC (used for mailing smartctl messages and so forth) cannot communicate with my in-home e-mail server (times out). I checked the logs, and it looks like it is trying to use the IP address from the actual A-RECORD, rather than the address in my hosts file.
So I'm not quite sure what to do. There seems to be a "proxy_interfaces" parameter in main.conf which might be relevant, but I think it only deals with received mail. I'd prefer to have the mail going to that e-mail server, rather than also having to check the spool on my local desktop accounts.
