Is mcmurchy.prv an actual domain name?
No, in the real world.
Yes, in the 192.168 network behind a couple of Linksys/Dlink
routers. The first router doing address translation from the ip
address assigned by the broadband vendor to a 192.168 private network.
I fixed it, thanks to Randy (we share the same first name).
This is my old /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.1 blytheworks.example.org blytheworks
It was my 'best guesss' from creating the /etc/hosts file in LFS (it
appears I guessed wrong)
This is my new /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost blytheworks
blytheworks.rblythe.prv
There is no 192 etc. line. This is actually a combination of what Randy
McMurchy wrote in a previous post and what I read from my host
distribution (Mepis) /etc/host file.
I am only starting learn about this kind of stuff (using one distro of
linux for almost 2 years but nothing like having to do so much CLI
work. I like LFS/BLFS better because I get to learn so much).
Anyway, I think my problem has to do with the 192.168.1.1 from my old
/etc/hosts. I don't see where that IP is ever relevant in my system. I
use dhcpcd and when I run ifconfig, the output is inet addr:
192.168.1.101 (has also been 102, 103, 104), bcast: 192.168.1.255,
netmask: 255.255.255.0.
I could be way off about this, so please feel free to comment and help
me add to my knowledge and understanding. After I created the new
/etc/hosts files, the testing output was 770 just like the instructions
say it should be. BTW, I did do a complete configure/build/install from
scratch by completely removing nss-3.11 and starting from step one.
This is a long post simple to say thank you.
