I have Slackware64 installed on a LAN gateway/server. The box is running an NFS/NIS server for roaming profiles. I wonder how I can edit hosts.allow more tightly with NFS. I googled around a bit and decided on the following configuration:
[Code]....
I am trying to setup a basic file server, but seem to be stuck with the editing of the allow.hosts file. I installed the latest Debian, and when I try to edit it, and then save, it says I dont have permissions.
As a sidenote, I dont mean to belittle linux or start a debate, I am behind the whole open source/free software thing, but every time I say to myself, "okay, time to give Linux another chance", I cant believe how difficult it is to do even the most simplist of tasks. No wonder MS is still on top. If only one could do it ALL from a GUI.
This really has me baffled! I'm running Apache 2.2 on Windows Server 2003 (I know, my first blunder). I can edit existing virtual hosts without a problem, for example, I can change this existing vhost to point to a different document root and it works fine:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName existingsubdomain.mydomain.net
DocumentRoot "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/mydirectory"
</VirtualHost>
But the moment I try to add a new virtual host, it doesn't get recognized! When I try to browse to it in a browser, I get a "Server not found: Firefox can't find the server at newsubdomain.mellemallc.net."
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName newsubdomain.mydomain.net
DocumentRoot "C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/mydirectory"
</VirtualHost>
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to why this may be happening?
I run a local apache server, that has some virtual hosts running. Now I want to be able to locally connect to these virtual hosts, but when I try this, it puts www and .com behind the url and says it can't find it. On Windows I know the equivalent, editing the hosts file. Is there something similar in linux?

Quote:
By the w]ay, Arnt Gulbrandsen <agulbra@nvg.unit.no> says that 127.0.0.1 # should NEVER be named with the name of the machine. It causes problems # for some (stupid) programs, irc and reputedly talk. :^)
Here's what I have now:

I'm not certain how to include my router in /etc/hosts so I can use it to link my PCs as stated above. I was thinking of writing (see above link):
192.168.2.1 localbelkin Will this work & is it proper?
3) Do I need to make use of any other IP addresses at this link? What are the WAN IP & Default Gateway addresses used for? I am going to be serving documents & running scripts on Apache.
I am trying to configure Apache to handle virtual hosts. For this I un-commented the line in httpd.conf that say
Include /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Then I included the following in httpd-vhosts.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
<Directory /var/www/git.localhost/gitorious/public>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow, deny
Allow from All .....
I'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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWell, 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.
Probably an easy (which means stoopid) question...I am trying to reroute a website using my hosts file so that it matches my servers certificate file for testing without effect dns and the live site.When I went to edit my /etc/hosts file it is non-existent. 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?

If you know Red Hat you only know Red Hat".Now I made a decision to install Slackware near Ubuntu and Xp.I've installed Slackware with LILO.Well LILO didn't add Ubuntu.So I needed to install from a LiveCD GRUB.Now I've got another problem:GRUB didn't add Slackware.I made a research and realised that I must to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst. This is my hard disk(XP:sda1,sda5;Ubuntu:sda7,sda8;Slackware: /->sda9 /home->sda10): [URL] This is general code for adding an OS to GRUB:
title Slackware
root (hd0,x)
kernel /<vmlinuz_filename> ro root=/dev/hda<partition>
initrd /<initrd_filename>
[code]....
How can I find initrd for Slackware and I'd like to know how I must to write correct code to add Slackware to GRUB?
I've read that you can fix lilo after a bad edit by booting from install cd1 and entering: Code:boot: bare.i root=/dev/hda X noinitrd ro at the boot prompt. Can someone confirm this or suggest a better way? I'm using slackware 13.

He is using an Intel wireless card, but I am unsure of the exact model. Another question is would Wicd do this automatically or do you still have to use either iwconfig or wpa_supplicant and edit the corresponding config files?

What I want: multiple virtual hosts with ssl and only 1 ip address: In my example: server = 192.168.227.129

All clients on the LAN, have to have their /etc/hosts file edited for my server to resolve their hostnames/LAN ip addresses. Both Windows/Mac/Linux. That shouldn't be necessary as all other stanzas are correct. If the hosts file is not ammended my maillog shows connect from unknown rip="my_external_address" when in fact it should say connect from "host" rip=192.168.0.20 Not to sure if it is an iptables issue as I have nothing for this configuration. /etc/hosts file on the server has all required hostnames and ip addresses

I'm doing a how-to to setup my debian server. It tells me to edit /etc/hosts to look like this (with different IPs and hostnames of course)
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.100 server1.example.com server1
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I'm curious about that second line. I know it'll be my actual server ip, but what does it specify? what is the 'server1' at the end of the line specifying? I *think* that 'server1' would be part of my bash prompt when i login, but am not sure. Is it used for anything else?
I haven't needed static alias's for at least 3 months, but I'm assuming an update messed something up.
Upon every restart, my /etc/hosts file keeps getting overwritten back to the defaults; erasing all the hostname alias's I added. What would be doing this? Is there a new way that I'm supposed to define IP aliases now?
