Vitaly found my NIS error. On our NIS master, they have the wrong address for my system. Thanks for your help. I will next work on SSH.

Hmm, I search for /etc/hostname and find two hits on pages 168 and 257 - both with "/etc/HOSTNAME". Two things: 1) Are you sure you have the same book - the latest is on http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247493.html?Open 2) Are you sure you don't have an /etc/HOSTNAME file with all caps. > On PG 152 it says to regen the SSH keys using /etc/ssh/ssh-keygen and > I do not have that file either. Hmm, again I search but do not find /etc/ssh/keygen in the book. I do see on page 149: The SSH keys that were copied are identical to those of the golden image. Manually create three new ones with the ssh-keygen command: # cd /etc/ssh # ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -q -f ssh_host_rsa_key ssh_host_rsa_key already exists. Overwrite (y/n)? y And yes, the ssh-keygen command should be found in your path in /usr/bin. So, hopefully those two problems are cleared up. :)) > The firewall is not running, but in the /var/log/firewall log file > I receive errors. Just to be sure, what does "iptables -L" return? If your firewall is off you should see: # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination "Mike MacIsaac" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (845) 433-7061 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
