Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Domain Name Persistant?
Jun 10, 2011
i have a question, it ought to be a simple task for most but im as noob as they get. In ubuntu 11.04 desktop, how do i change the hostname as well as setting the new domain name?. Temporarily its easy with hostname and domainname in terminal, but i want it to become persistant. Lets say i want the machine name to become computer01 and domain to become homenet.lan. Then i would change the /etc/hostname to contain computer01 only. But what i cant figure is how the new /etc/hosts is supposed to look, the old one is:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 current_computer_name
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
But how is the new /etc/hosts supposed to look if hostname is to be computer01 and domainname homenet.lan?,
I had a usb stick running ubuntu. A coworker used this install to go around some of my companies security measures, and I was told to hold on to the usb stick in question. I copied all the files onto another usb stick in case something went wrong with the first one.
The problem: The first usb stick that was bootable has become corrupted. I still have the files from the disc, but they're not on the bootable stick.
Can i just use something like unetbootin, reinstall ubuntu, then drag all the files over?
I have a server running ubuntu 8.04 with apache2. What I'd like to know is how to go about setting up a domain name? I've looked at a heap of hosting sites, but they son't seem to allow you to specify your own IP address that you already have. Also, I'm not sure about what, if any kind of DNS software I would then have to run on my server. At this stage I'm only doing preliminary research about it I guess.
I have created a mail server using citadel that seems to be working nicely. My only problem is the only way to access the server is to go to 71.114.220.3:2000 (it's running on port 2000). I would like to be able to access the server by going to mail.annarrankings.comI'm using godaddy for my dns and set an A record as host=mail, points to =@Then set the mx server to priority=10, host=mail.annarrankings.com, points to = @
I have a red hat system that I currently have two websites hosted on. Im trying to set up a third domainname but every time I touch the files (httpd.conf, hosts, ddclient.conf, VirtualHosts,etc) it resolves to the primary domain name. The third domain keeps pulling up my first domain instead of resolving to its domain name. Any Ideas? I go through DynDns with custom domains. The first two have been working for years, but whenever I try to set up the third one exactly like the other two using the thirds info, it will not resolve to that third domain?????
i have installed SUSE 11 recently and have set the domain name and netmask using YaST settings after installation.But, the domain name is empty after rebooting. I have verified this using domainname command from terminal. But, in Network settings it is there.I think the system is not picking up the domain name from YaST settings.
I have setup Ubuntu servers as LAMP machines but that's pretty much it.
I need to work on an existing CentOS server that I will see for the first time tomorrow. I am told that, as of right now, it is "just serving the internet." The goal is to set it up to be a primary domain controller by which I mean:
1) A user should be able to login to the server from any of the workstations and then see their server stored documents
2) The clients will be a mixed bag of Linux, Windows and Mac machines
I could use a push in the right direction as to what I need to do to get this all setup. I know how to setup users and home folders (I use webmin typically and I understand that there is a version for CentOS) but clearly there is more that I need to do. I am really curious as to how I would map the necessary drives on the client machines upon login and have the users have automatic access to their data regardless of the client machine they log in to.
I previously installed centos using DHCP. Now I purchased a domain name and want to set it up as a webserver. if I choose the static ip address based on the existing DNS server given to me by the domain company, it will ask for the subnet mask, default gateway and i do not have them.
Im an IT manager for a small company with a small ammount of users. We already use linux for our data server and I would like to implement a domain controller. All of our user machines are WIndows XP pro.
Ive been reading up on using OpenLDAP as an alternative to active directory.
What I want is just a simple active directory like server, with a GUI if possible.
What do I need to look at and how would I go about setting this up? Im fairly proficient with Ubuntu already, I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Is it even possible to have my windows users be able to log in to their machines using an ubuntu domain controller?
I've got a home server running Ubuntu Server 9.04 and several machines running Ubuntu Desktop (9.04 and 8.04) and Windows (XP, Vista and 7). Now what I want to do is to create a domain and directory server similar in function to Windows Server w/ AD and join my other machines to the domain, but am not sure where to start. I already have file shares with Samba but now I want to setup a domain.
At the school i work in i have a server2k3 server that provides a domain to all the windows clients, aswell as a fedora server that acts as an imaging machine and webserver.
Im rather concious of the fact that if for any reason the Server2k3 server was to die there is no backup of active directory, or anything that can take its place whilst a replacement is found.
So is it possible to use a fedora machine with samba as a secondary domain controller? so it can be used as a login server, and has a copy of AD.
i have registered two domain names that i want to use to connect to my ubuntu server. I was wondering how to do this i was looking at bind9 but that didn't work that great. The server is behind a router with firewall i can connect to it using the external IP address but i like to use the two domain names if that is possible.
At work, we run Windows... Windows domain, windows workstations, etc. Today my boss asked me my thoughts on running an Ubuntu lab within the mixture of our existing Windows setup.
Well, that brought several questions to mind. So I understand you can bind an Ubuntu computer to a Windows domain, seems easy enough, whether you do it through Samba or the other guide I read that I kind of forget at the moment, but anyway...
I was just curious how Ubuntu interacts with domain users when on the windows domain. For example, if we have an Ubuntu machine on the Windows domain with a local user "administrator" and that's it, would any domain users be able to log into the Ubuntu work station, similar to how it is on Windows?
The company I work for, as usual, is Microsoft-centric. I'm attempting to integrate my Ubuntu server into the domain to allow domain users to authenticate to the server and access file shares using Samba. Here's my current configuration:
I was wondering if there is any way to enable an MS Windows client that is otherwise unable of joining a domain to join a domain controlled by (open)SUSE? Is that inability only for joining a Windows based domain but a client that runs XP Home Edition or similar domain- incapable version of Windows could join a domain if it was controlled by Linux?Pardon my newbie style, but answer doesn't have to be detailed step-by-step, just yes/no answer with some pointers would do. I am not new to linux but new to network services... search engines weren't friendly when asked this question at the search bar...
iam using centos5.2.configured qmail,vpopmail. while adding domain form vadddomain<domain.co.in> At first time domain folder get created in domains directory.and also postmaster user also get created by default.And also in mysql. Now the problem is after some times or rebooting system domain get erased automatic.also in /var/qmail/users/assign file domain name get erased.
I want to host 5 websites on my new virtual server so I have created 2 nameservers that point to my virtual server's IP addresses as a glue record. What confuses me is when I create a new domain on my server it gives the new domain it's own nameservers (ns1.thenewdomain.co.uk etc) do I need to change these records so they use the nameservers I created earlier? If I do? Which particular records should I change? I'm running a Unix virtual server with a Plesk control panel.
i need to allow window domain controller user to use file share of linux.windows DC user can see the share file and directories of linux file server but not able to access.
below is brief--
I have a Linux machine which is on my network but not on my domain. I have configured SAMBA FILESERVER for file sharing purpose. I have a Windows XP PC which is on the domain(windows server) that I am trying to connect to a share on the Linux box. I supply my credentials but regardless of which login I use I always get Logon Failure. I have created an account on the Linux machine with the same user name and password as my domain account but so far no luck. Can I connect from a domain PC to a non-domain Linux box? Is there something else I should be checking?
I'm working for a smallish non-profit that has gone through some recent growing pains. We have two sites that are currently without a domain controller, and no money for MS licenses, so I was thinking of trying to add a couple of additional Linux machines (we already run Linux for web services internally, and I've set up a test case previously to see if I could get a server to join the domain, which was a success) and was trying to find out if I can get them to act as Domain Controllers without replacing the domain. The main issue that I'm having at those locations is drive mappings are not happening correctly against our DFS file servers. The one other location that had this issue had it go away when we added a local DC. The domain is a Server 2008 domain.
My setup: Private router which connects to the internet. Host: win7 with VMWare workstation Ubuntu 10.04 runs in a virtual machine on VMWare workstation.
Win7 works fine. Ubuntu can ping with valid ip address and firefox can load a webpage if provided with valid ip address. Ubuntu cannot ping with domain name and firefox cannot browse with domain name. Examples: Ping google.dk results in
Code: ping: unknown host google.dk Writing google.dk in the address bar of firefox results in
Code: Firefox can't find the server at www.google.dk.

I have my home server set up as an ftp server, LAMP server, ssh server, all that fun stuff. I usually access it externally using my IP address, but I would like to get a domain name for convenience reasons. I wonder If you could recommend a site that will register a domain name for your IP, preferably for free. Or would I be able to do it myself by installing a DNS server on my server? I'm not really sure how that works. I'm pretty sure that you can only do that with local servers, right?
I have Ubuntu 10.10 at work and I've installed a Windows XP virtual box machine under it, that is joind to our Active Directory domain(but Ubuntu is/will not joined). I've set up VPN on XP box and I can connect to it from Ubuntu. I want to browse network shares(that use AD for permissions) and domain sites(like sharepoint) from Ubuntu. But even after connecting to VPN when I can't browse network shares, and nautilus asks for domain user/pass and tries to open share with no success. What extra steps is needed to browse my corporate network from Ubuntu via VPN?
I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 in my office desktop. as a newbie in the world of linux, i really do not know much about it. I want to join my desktop in our domain. i already have the ip addresses of the DNS servers but i dunno where to put it. i've installed likewise open and try to join the domain but it displays the following errors: Manual Configuration Required:
The configuration stage 'open ports to DC' cannot be completed automatically. Please manually perform the following steps and rerun the domain join: Some required ports on the domain controller could not be contacted. Please update your firewall settings to ensure that the following ports are open to 'MARVEL2.LBPNET':
I want to join a Windows domain with my ubuntu (for project of evening school)I'm following this guide http://ict-freak.nl/2008/10/26/how-t...indows-domain/ but when I put in the command I get this error
Code: Error: Unable to resolve DC name [code 0x00080026]Resolving 'project2010.be' failed. Check that the domain name is correctly entered. Also check that your DNS server is reachable, and that your system.is configured to use DNS in nsswitch.Probably need to Change the nsswitch file.it looks like this atm

I have a domain through google (enom) I have one website which I host web forums My friend has a website which he hosts the frontpage We're on two separate hosts We're trying to combine the websites together and my friend wants to utilize his hosting.Is it possible to get this one domain to work on two webservers without doing a redirect? For exmaple: have [URL] be the frontpage and [URL] be the forums
With Kerberos it's possible to join and login in Windows domain. The easiest way to do is this or I think so...
When installing likewise-open, it installs Kerberos also. I have no idea what are those realms and other stuff. There's some guides (also by Microsoft!), but it's gibberish for me. My native language isn't English, so half of those words go in one ear and out from the other.
I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 and I'm able to join the domain with my Windows clients. Now I want to join with Ubuntu but I have no idea what to do.
Like what's FQDN how to find out domain's FQDN Whats Kerberos realm and what it should contain how to install Kerberos correctly and so on
