Networking :: FC13 Install Can Ping By Hostname - Ssh By Hostname Fails
Jul 29, 2010I'm having an issue on two Fedora Core 13 machines where I can ping others by hostname, but the hostname resolution fails whenever I use ssh/scp/vnc/etc. I can still do these things by IP address, just not by hostname. RHEL5.3 machines on the same network with the same configuration do not seem to have this problem.
Here's the not-so-quick-and-dirty description of the situation:
I know that there is a virtual router at 192.168.31.1 and another at 192.168.30.1. I also know that there is another network (let's call it 90.90.90.0) and on that network lies a number of resources. By nature of this configuration, any machine on 90.90.90.0 can be accessed by any 192.168.x.x, but not the other way around. Beyond that is out of my hands and currently out of my scope of knowledge.
I have a dnsmasq server on 90.90.90.10 that operates as a secondary nameserver, another machine out of my sphere of influence is the primary nameserver (90.90.90.31).
The secondary nameserver on 90.90.90.10 holds the hostnames of our development machines. The problem is that in some cases, while I can ping by hostname all day long, services such as ssh, scp, vncviewer, etc all fail to resolve the hostname. In other cases I can do all of these things.
Every machine has an equivalent resolv.conf:
As an example, I will show the output of a handful of my development machines:
I also included columbia as a one-way test -- even though it cannot access 30.x or 31.x, they can access it:
columbia -- physical machine, Red Hat Enterprise 5.3, IP 192.168.100.200
Okay, so here are the various outputs. Remember, nibbler, discovery, and atlantis can ALL:
- Ping by IP address
- Ping by hostname
- ssh, scp, vnc, etc by IP addess
Additionally, the SERVFAIL reply from 90.90.90.31 is expected since my dnsmasq server is on the secondary server.
Note that the only machine that can both ping and ssh/scp/etc by hostname is nibbler, which also happens to be the only one of the three running RHEL5.3 instead of FC13. Other virtual and physical machines running on the 192.168.31.0 and 192.168.30.0 networks (all running RHEL5.3) work just like nibbler does. So the problem seems to only affect machines running FC13.
Final note: selinux is disabled, iptables is disabled, ip6tables is disabled.
Other than that, discovery is a brand-spanking-new install straight off of the FC13 DVD. atlantis has been around longer, but its just a file server so I haven't done anything too crazy to it.
General :: Ubuntu 9.10 Networking Hostname / Can Ping The Linux Box Using Its Hostname From A WinXp. But Cannot Do The Reverse?
Jan 3, 2010I have a network of 2 WinXP machines and one linux box. I have fiddled around with the settings as you do when learning. The network is working. The network neighbourhood on the WinXP machines recognise the linux box and vice versa, (the linux Places|Network recognises the 2 WinXP). I can Ping the linux box using its hostname from a WinXp. But I cannot do the reverse. I get an 'unknown host' response. I can ping the linux to itself using its hostname.

May 22, 2011I have an ubuntu 10.04 server with hostname "abc.domain.com". However, due to migration, we had to change to hostname to something else, "xyz".
I have done changing /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and run /etc/init.d/hostname start.
Checking the hostname and all shows it is now using hostsname of xyz. However, email sending out is still using old hostname. We have some scripts that will send out alerts like failed rsync or hdd space full to my email account. But I see the sender is still "root@abc.domain.com".
How do change that to xyz? I am using postfix. I have edited main.cf and restarted postfix but no go.

Jan 6, 2010I managed a first installation of SUZE 11.2 from a mag distro - downloaded the iso file - burned the dvd, installed again, looking to retain the host name for this computer. But for the second time I get a linuxXXXXX sort of host name! No chance to set my preferred one up. I like what I've seen of SUZE so far and am happy to move to it sort of permanently. This legacy hostname helps me keep sane in networking matters though and I have yet to configure a networked laserprinter and add another computer. Can I re-set the hostname to my selection without harming the whole set-up?

Nov 17, 2010Just completed a fresh netinstall of OpenSUSE. This machine previously had a Ubuntu install on it, but I was having all sorts of issues and decided I required a fresh start. The install itself went acceptably, although I ended up manually fixing GRUB.Now the system is running, I've got a ridiculous problem, in that I'm still seeing the old hostname- It used to be ubuntu-server, but should now be unimatrix-001.Checked both the obvious places (/etc/HOSTNAME & YaST), but the correct hostname is in both of them.

Apr 14, 2011This isn't really a problem or an issue but I'm kinda curious about it. I thought openSUSE generate a hostname like "linux-xxxx" when you install it and that was it. But for me it generates a new host name every time I turn on my computer. For example, right now it's "oseiler-linux" yesterday it was "mac-sophia". I'm wondering how it generates these kinds of hostnames.

OpenSUSE Network :: Hostname Change Via YaST Not Applied After Restart
Apr 1, 2011I installed openSUSE on my notebook with an usb drive using openSUSE 11.4 KDE LIVE iso. The installation process set the name to "linux-ygrl" which I don't really like. (I probably just missed the setting during the installation.). I tried to change it through YaST -> Network -> Hostnames and I set everything where needed to the new name and restarted but the changed weren't applied. I searched the web and found out about the /etc/HOSTNAME file which still contains "linux-ygrl". Now I could change it manually but I was wondering if there is a GUI for it? (I mean, openSUSE has for alsmost everything a GUI.

Debian :: Trying To Change Hostname Through SSH
Apr 15, 2010I tried to change hostname through ssh.
Old hostname = server1
New hostname = server1.domain.local
I changed the hostname by editing the /etc/hostname file
Old:
/etc/hostname
server1
New:
/etc/hostname
server1.domain.local
Then I executed /etc/init.d/hostname.sh, and get as below, looks OK!
hostname -f
server1.domain.local
hostname
server1.domain.local
hostname -s
server1
The logs are still just showing server1.
Example:
tail -f /var/log/auth.log
Apr 15 13:30:01 server1 CRON[22783]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Apr 15 13:30:02 server1 CRON[22783]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
Do I really have to reboot, or is this normal behaviour that it does not show the full hostname?
Ubuntu :: Using Variables In Hostname?
Aug 27, 2010I'm have been tasked with created a base Ubuntu image that can be used for cloning to multiple machines. As this is a network environment, each hostname will obviously need to be unique. Rather than manually changing the hostname each time a new, cloned machine is rolled out, I was wondering if there is a way to use a variable in the hostname (i.e., use a variable to truncate the the last 6 digits of the MAC address to the end of the static hostname--or any other unique variable for that matter--so it would look like hostname00E6D4).
