Software :: Hostname Does Not Return FQDN?
Apr 8, 2010When I type in "hostname", the result is locahostname and not localhostname.domainname.
For example, if the hostname is zazu and the domain gateway.2wire.net. I need for "hostname" to return zazu.gateway.2wire.net.
I am using the 2wire router. But - there is a dynamic DNS domain that points to the router.
how to set the FQDN properly so that "hostname" returns zazu.pridelands.com

Sep 3, 2009I have an RHEL5 server running BIND. I'd like to be able to resolve internal, non-FQDN names such as "wiki" for the company internal wiki. in my named.conf file...Named-checkzone returns no errors, and nslookup works when specifying the server explicitly, but no browser resolves the name when entered in the address line. I know this by no means a standard use of BIND, but I'm sure someone out there's pulled this off. I did see when googling someone suggest "load the root zone (.) as master, and add your "hosts" as TLDs, using CNAMEs", but tried that and probably did it wrong since it didn't work.

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Hostname Changed But Email Still Using Old 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.
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.

Sep 5, 2010brand new install of 10.4 server and I'm having a strange issue. I cannot browse to any website by it's domain name, but I can connect via IP address.
I've been googling around and did the following:
added nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf based on an nslookup from my windows box:
nameserver 71.250.0.12
nameserver 68.237.161.12
I commented out the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf per another site and changed it to: hosts: files dns
I can see other computers on my local network via IP and I can browse to the server's default apache page by it's hostname, so I'm assuming it's something about the server's dns resolution, but I'm not sure of my next step.

Ubuntu Networking :: Use A Dyndns Hostname To Connect To Server
Apr 9, 2010I've recently set up an Ubuntu server and from within the network I can do several things like: log in via SSH, transfer files via FTP, and remotely control Torrents from other computers. My end goal is to be able to access these services by using my dyndns hostname (example.dyndns.org)from an external network.
When I type my dyndns name in my web browser it opens up my router page. How would I set things up so that I can just type my dyndns hostname to point directly to my server, instead of the router page?
All computers are connected to a router which is connected to an ADSL modem, with automatically assigned I.P addresses.

Server :: Hostname Configuration On BIND
Jan 2, 2010I have read a lot of documentation but it is still hard to find a proper answer to my doubts.About the hostnames in a domain, how is it associate to a determinated port?
For example, when I type on the browser webmail.sparc86.net and then I get redirected to the port of 20000 of this same domain. Fine, but how does it work that it knows it should be redirected to the port 20000? From where is this information (the association webmail-port 20000) taken? The apache will manage this, right? But what about other services like ftp?Another example, If I wrote my own software listening, let's say on the port 40000 and I want to have a domain like "mystuff.sparc86.net" how would I let it be redirected to the port 40000 ?
Ubuntu Servers :: 9.10 - Using Bind9 As DNS Server On LAN - Does Not Seem To Translate Its Own Hostname Correctly
Sep 8, 2010Im using bind9 as DNS server on my LAN, but it does not seem to translate its own hostname correctly for some reason. Other hosts is translated correctly, the problem only seems to apply to the DNS host itself. if i "ping <server_hostname>" from the server, it translates correctly. But if i "ping <server_hostname>" from the client it only says "unknown host" The client has the correct DNS-server assigned. How can i start troubleshooting this?

General :: Allow Outgoing Email From Server IP / Hostname
Jun 7, 2010How do I check/setup that only the server can send mail (maybe by IP or hostname)? I have a debian server that sends mail through the PHP mail() function with no problems. The server uses sendmail. My concern is how do I make sure only the server itself can send mails through that server. Because it would be bad if spammers would use it as a relay server.
System:
- Debian Lenny
- PHP5
- Apache2
- MySQL 5
- PHPmyadmin
- Sendmail
Server :: VHost And Configuring VPS - Importance Of Hostname?
Jan 23, 2010During a request of a VPS, the provider asks me for a hostname and for the VPS I have requested which will run on a Debian. I entered 'dryaf' as hostname. What I want to do with this VPS is to point a website to its IP. I learn that I can create a vhost and configure VPS to redirect each domain name to its folder using vhost but I didn't learn any importance for hostname I don't think it should be mandatory localhost or has the form domain1.com so during request I just tipped dryaf for the hostname of the VPS. Should the hostname follows a special rule for giving it a name or no?

I can type in the servers IP address from my browser/putty/winSCP and access the server within the intranet. The problem is that i would also like to access the server using its hostname, e.g. http://centos or whatever Currently i cannot do it. I've searched the forums, edited the /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts to no avail no matter what i do i cannot access it. i've disabled some services so im not sure if this is the fault.
