Red Hat / Fedora :: Can't Resolve .local Domains?
Aug 29, 2010
I am using FC13 with BIND. I have a slave zone setup for my work domain. I can resolve .local FQDNs from the shell using NSLOOKUP but any .local FQDN from an application (GUI or CLI) results in "ping: unknown host". All other domains resolve fine. My guess is there is something with BIND that sees .local as an invalid domain suffix. Is there an option that I need to set/modify to force the resolution of .local entries?

I'm finding that I can not resolve .local domains anywhere except with nslookup and found on the LucidLynx release notes that there is a problem with avahi causing this. Although the avahi service is convenient for locating printers and such can anyone else tell me what other services/options will be impacted on a default installation of Ubuntu if I disable this service?

Anyone can point me to a document, page, or something that will tell me exactly how to implement DNS step by step. I don't mean just the concept, i.e. you'll need two name servers, and to download BIND, etc. NO, I mean command line commands and all. Step 1, step 2, how to register the name servers, how to resolve different domains, etc.
I'd really appreciate it, as I need to implement internal DNS and external DNS for my company soon. Our set up is pretty standard: Firewall, DMZ, Solaris/Linux/Windows servers, and Windows clients, etc.

I'm trying to pass multiple dpmains thru one ubuntu server to various hosts on my local network.
[url] should be sent to the /var/www folder on the local host.
[url] should be forwarded to an IIS box on my local network (owa.nunya.local)
[url] should be sent to another ubunto box on my local network (smtp.biznet.net)
I have tried placing VirtualHost entries in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and [url]and [url] both work but [url] gets forwarded to the c:inetpub folder on the IIS box.

I have an RHEL 5.3 system where NIS logins are working perfectly, but authentication doesn't seem to be working for non-root local users. I can't login either remotely or at the console with a local user, and I can't even su to them unless I'm doing so from root (i.e. when no password is required).
I've reset the password, I've deleted and recreated the user, and nothing. nsswitch.conf does have "files" listed as part of the config, which was really the main place I'd have assumed the issue could be. su gives "incorrect password", and ssh gives "userauth failure". /var/log/secure shows "su: pam_listfile(su:auth): Refused user <username> for service su", and same for the ssh attempts (with ssh in for su, of course). I've reviewed my pam.d files, and they seem to be the same as on a working machine, but I'm not 100% conversant with pam so I might be missing something.

How do you get linux to resolve local hostnames without DNS?
I've recently migrated from a fully windows home network, to a few linux machines and im unable to ping any local machines with hostname via these linux machines. i can ping IP and internet hostnames. also, windows > anything pings ok too. however linux > anything will not ping via hostname.
I beleive it's an additional service running on windows to resolve hostnames without DNS (wins/netbios).
DNS is done via a netgear DG834 router (DNS forwarding).
I know i could either use direct IP, or add machines into the hosts file, but im wondering if theres some way around that and to have it dynamically update like it does on the windows machines. static mappings seem a bit silly inside DHCP zones
I've seen some reports of avahi causing local network issues (taking over the .local domain), but i think this only extends to having to manually enter in .local after the hostname and even after removing avahi, the problem is still present.

I have three Debian systems running, along with several XP laptops, PS3 and two DirecTV systems. I use two of the three Debian systems as media servers, and the third is an older system mostly for playing around with. My home network is running fine with the following nuisance. The two newer Debian (Lenny) systems are <barney> and <mitzi>, the older is named <oscar>, running Debian Sarge 3.1. From either locally or remote login to <barney> and <mitzi> I can ssh into either of the other two systems, however when logged into <oscar> I cannot ssh by name to either of the other systems. e.g. ssh: mitzi: Temporary failure in name resolution..However, from <oscar> I can ping outside my network (e.g. ping www.google.com) with no problems.I can also ssh to the other systems via IP address, just not by name.
I've compared the /etc/ssh/ssh_config, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/ssh/sshd_config and other files between the two systems and not seeing anything peculiar. arp, route, etc., don't show different behavior between the systems either.

I'll apologize in advance for I'm sure this has been covered already, but I'm not sure of the search terms to even use to begin solving this problem. I don't know what I don't know.
I have three computers on my home network and want to reach them by their name instead of IP address since their ip is dynamically assigned. I'm using a Linksys WRT54GL router and have noticed that there exists a "DHCP Clients Table" in the router that seems to hold all the necessary information - host names and ip addresses.
How can I get my computers to use that as the lookup table to resolve the host names? And is this even an optimal way of being able to resolve local names?

I recently installed bind9 on mandriva 2008.1, after having done the necessary configuration.. I still can't find my domain I configured cant ping on other machines on the LAN but can actually ping on any other website on the internet even though name server is configured to point to local machine..... I dont understand what I'm doing wrong.

Running knode with 11.3 and KDE 4.5 (same problem with 4.4) it is
impossible to drag articles into local folders. Indeed there seems no
way of using local folders at all. Is this a bug, or something wrong
with my setup?

The little home server of mine has bind configured as a caching dns server. I would like to configure it to resolve local host names. I know dnsmasq can do this, so what would someone need to do to get bind to do this?The network is entirely private with all private IPs which are distributed by dhcpd.(While writing this, the feeling creeps in that it would be easier to just have dnsmasq running.)

I have an internal domain (dev.lan) for which my Ubuntu server is authoritative. We have a number of subdomains under that domain (test.dev.lan, svn.dev.lan, etc.). The server also acts as the primary DNS server for my office. It was originally set up under Ubuntu 8 and worked great.
However, ever since we upgraded to Ubuntu 10, our Windows clients periodically lose the ability to resolve domains on the dev.lan domain. Internal IP addresses can still be pinged from the Windows machines so it does not appear to be a network-connectivity issue. External domain names continue to resolve without any problems. The only workaround is to restart networking on the Windows clients. It's frustrating because it happens several times a day.
bind9 logs no obvious error messages.

I have a mac and an openSUSE box connected wirelessly to a router. From my mac, if I ping the Linux machine by both ip address and hostname "elmo.local", I get a response. If I ping my mac from the Linux machine using its ip address, I get a response. However, if I ping the mac from the Linux box using its name "kermit.local" - nothing!
This means in order to share files between them via the network, I have to use the ip address rather than name, but I'd rather not. When I had Ubuntu installed instead of openSUSE this all worked fine out of the box, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the setup of openSUSE rather than the router or the mac.

I have Postfix + Unix Accounts + Virtual Domains. I have a bunch of domains hosted on my machine, let's call them [URL] [URL] and [URL]... etc Until know, domain2.com, domain3.com were mapped in virtual domains to [URL] So this is how /etc/postfix/virtual looks like:
[URL]
Like I said, all mail accounts are unix accounts, so, if for example I have the user "paul" this user will receive e-mail for ALL DOMAINS. [URL]But as it turns out, I now need a COMPLETELY ISOLATED domain... let's call it [URL]. So If I create a new user, let's call it "steve" I want steve to receive e-mail ONLY on [URL] and not on all others.
I would have to redo the whole thing from the beginning. I'd have to comment out the $mydestination parameter in the main.cf file and start using only virtual domains. So if I have the following users: paul, steve, sally, megan, jenny and I want paul and steve to ONLY receive mail for domain1.com, sally and megan to receive mail for domain2.com and jenny to receive mail for domainX.com, my /etc/postfix/virtual file would have to look like this:
[URL]
I'd have to create the unix account and then start modifying the /etc/postfix/virtual file.

WTF am I doing wrong with sendmail? I am trying to reverse alias a user as follows:
USER1 USER@MYDOMAIN.COM
USER1@hshlnb.hsh.com USER@MYDOMAIN.COM
That is how I have the entry in the genericstableWhen he sends mail, it comes from USER1@MYDOMAIN.COM, so I have the domain rewrite correct. The forward mapping in virtusertable works fine as well - he gets all mail redirected to the user1 account as specified.My sendmail.mc file has this:
divert(-1)dnl
include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl
VERSIONID(`setup for linux')dnl

What are they? Before they were not required to set up an internet connection(wired, I'm giving up on wireless for the moment) and now they are. I asked the lady at my isp and she didn't know. What should I enter in the blank for search domains?

I'd like to build a server to run CentOS5 to host domains & run Boonex's Dolphin 7. I can't afford the hardware at present, but do have a spare laptop to test with. My two questions:
1) Is is possible to create a build on my laptop, with CentOS, PHP, Dolphin 7, DNS etc, and then create an image to transfer to the future hardware server when constructed? If not, are there alternatives e.g. to copy settings, and then paste then onto the new CentOS install? Anything else I should consider for doing this future move?
2) I presume it's not possible to transfer from 32bit (now) to 64 bit (possibly later) CentOS5?

I'm using f12. My university has recently become a mirror for fedora packages. But i'm facing a trivial problem. I have set proxy for yum so that the packages that are not available on local mirror can be downloaded from other mirrors. But then i don't know how to set no proxy for my local server. Consequently it is not using my local mirror at all. Tell me how to set no proxy for the local mirror. I want my local mirror because it's damn fast. My proxy settings are like this (they go in /etc/yum.conf):

Fedora 11 is constantly freezing after a few minutes up. I run memtest but couldn't complete the test becuase the machine keeps freezing during the test. All fans are working and the CPU's temperature is normal (around 49C), so I don't think it overheats or something. I really don't know what is happening.
I tailed the messages log: Code: tail -f /var/log/messages and waited for the machine to freeze again. A second before it froze I got the following message in the log.
avahi-daemon[1498]: Invalid response packet from host 10.0.0.78

I have a postfix mail server on ubuntu 10.04 lts behind a router. so all local users are fetching/sending mails through ms outlook using local IP. Sometimes when internet goes down and any mail send then it bounced back immediately saying domain not found. Can u please tell me how i configure to hold all mails in postfix server rather than bounce when internet fails and will pass through when restored the internet around 15-30 minutes?

One of Konqueror's unique features is that i can name a local process as the action in a form. When i submit that form, the local process is executed. Very helpful for certain offline tasks. What would make it even better is if i could find a way to pass some data to that local process from the html page. This could be the content of a hidden input item, etc. Alternatively, if there is a way for Konqueror to create or update a local file with data from the html page, that would acheive the same end.

Downloaded the torrent first, burned to a new DVD-RW, and tried all install options I could think of. Then downloaded to file, burned to another new DVD-RW, same result. This morning I downloaded the Live CD, and it got all the way to the blue screen just before the login page, and stuck there. I finally gave up and reinstalled Fedora 10 again on my drive. The problen seemed to be with a missing or corrupted package, although I can't remember exactly remember which one. My machine is a custom one, Nvidia Gforce, and an Elite Group MB. F10 runs fine, no problems at all. Is this a commom problem with 11?

Over the weekend I upgraded my home PC from Fedora 9 to Fedora 12, and now I'm having problems connecting to the Internet. Basically, I am able to connect to some URLs but not others, and it happens in both Firefox and Konquerer. I am able to connect to url, url, url and url with no problems. However, when I try to connect to slashdot.org, url, fedoraforum.org and rpmfusion.org I can not. All the other Windows PCs in my home using the same 2Wire home portal are able to get to the sites using IE with no problem.
I first suspected a DNS issue, but the "host" command returns a valid IP address for all the URLs that I can not reach. Another symptom is that the following command
Code:
su -c 'rpm -Uvh url. url
(from rpmfusion.org/Configuration/) also doesn't work when entered at the command prompt. However, when I did "host download1.rpmfusion.org" and edited the command to use the IP address returned instead of "download1.rpmfusion.org" it worked. But then, the next time I ran "yum" it failed because it couldn't find the rpmfusion.org URL in the installed repository entries.
After reading some other threads, I tried disabling avahi-daemon, but that had no effect. I also tried examining /var/lib/dhcpd and /var/lib/dhclient, but neither file existed on my system.

I had serious problem with recording from tv via tvcard. My new distribution is Fedora 13 and the recording program is mencoder. The tvcard is Pinacle 110i. I recorded without problem when ripping from dvd, but when I tried to record from tv, I becam the answer: no /dev/dsp ... cannot open the demuxer. First I thinked that the problem cam from alsa settings, so I searched a while about this. And I didn't found alsaconf, like in Mandriva.So, after searching, I found the solution.
1. As root, issue the command
#modprobe saa7134 card=77 tuner=54
#modprobe saa7134-alsa

I'm a newbe with linux, thought it's a great OS but I'm nearly giving up. Nothing works like it should, to copy stupid files across you have to be some kind of wizz to do it.
I installed fresh copy of fedora 13, created folder on the desktop and connected via usb external hd.
Now, there is no way of coping files from my desktop to the USB drive as i get"error while coping to USB-Storage" The destination is read-only. Permissions - sure but there is nothing there sa tehy could not be determined.
Anyway, hoping someone can give me a light from the dark tunnel, so i don't have to go back to windows..

I had Fedora 12 installed on my laptop and everything was working okay.
After making a fresh install of Fedora 14 I can now only access some websites, others cannot be found.
I have spent hours trying to resolve this without success.
