Dynamic IP's don't "work" with DNS. In a way they do, but not in a way you're
probably going to find useful.. more in a bit.

That doesn't matter. So long as you have the authoritative name server(s) for
your domain, you can point the IP addresses at anything you like (including
other people's IP addresses, if you had the odd desire to do so).
> [Example with bogus IP addresses deleted]
> Is this possible?
Yes and no.
Here's a quick primer on how DNS works.
1) I type "skunx.reconnoiter.com" into my browser. 2) Netscape contact my
primary DNS and asks it to look up "skunx.reconnoiter.com" 3) My primary DNS
checks to see if it has "skunx.reconnoiter.com" in its cache -- this is what
makes dynamic IP's mostly unusable, because what's in the cache may not be
what IP you're using today. 4) My primary DNS then returns the IP (if it is
in cache) or sends the request further "up" the chain (checking with root
nameservers and whoever runs "reconnoiter.com").
As you can see, the only step in the process that you'll have any control over
is step 4 -- and that assumes no caching is going on, which isn't always true
(in fact, it's almost never true).
You could set the TTL (TimeToLive) for your DNS entries to something very
low, but that's not a very nice thing to do at all, and in any event there
are many many DNS machines out there that ignore the TTL anyway (mostly
because of jerks that set it too low).
If you happen to know what the *range* of IP addresses will be, you can
assign a unique name to each of them. When you're assigned an IP address,
you'll also end up being "assigned" a DNS name. This may or may not work for
what you want to do (probably not), but it's about the closest solution you
can get.
Really, the best thing to do is to ask your ISP for more static IP's.

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 14:22:32 +0000
I assume, it is not your mailserver, which returns the mail, but an
outside smtp server (relay or target-host).
Some of them check, if your given domain exists.
If mydomain.com dos not exist outside your intranet, there are two
workarounds: either you change your hostnames to an existing domain (if
you owne one), or you tell sendmail, to change the FROM adress of all
outgoing mail to a adress which is also valid outside your intranet. If
you use a relay host, you will also have to tell sendmail, not to use
it, if the mail is locally to be delivered.
There are lots of M4 scripts for configuring sendmail. You will have to
costumize one of them. Its not too difficult, but I did it some time
ago, and can not remember the steps I did. Anyway, its documented in the
howtos.
If you have further questions, you may contact me under
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
When reading mail to this adress, I sit at home, in front of a small
Linux-Win95-Intranet, and can have a better look, what I did to solve
the problem.
Hope it helps

I have a similiar problem, after trying to set up my smbpasswd file with the
command:
cat passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >smbpasswd
as described on Paul Sery's website, I came up with a smbpasswd file that
has password entries like this:
adm:3:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:adm:/va
r/adm:
is this just a default set up? Do the X's indicate no password? How should I
add user passwords?

There was an organization called Monolith that provided a service that would
do exactly what you're looking for... but they folded their tents last year.
I've seen scripts to allow you to sort of roll your own version of this:
grab your dynamic IP address and post it somewhere external to your site or
even mail it to someone else so they could find you. A semi-automatic
version of what you're trying to do. Sorry, I didn't save any URLs but you
should be able to find it with a bit of perseverance on dejanews. It was
definitely in the linux groups.

You use PPP. :-)
The ISDN line card should just be another device to Linux, which can be
accessed the same way as /dev/ttyS0 or /ttyS1 would be for a dial out
modem.
There's a pretty good how-to provided with most distributions - have a

The POINT here is that it is exactly as easy to embed my unique MAC address
in an Internet transaction as it is to embed my unique Pentium-III CPU ID
in an Internet transaction. Any software which will go to the trouble to
fetch the unique CPU identifier and send it over the network to identify me
could just as easily be written TODAY to use a MAC address for exactly the
same purpose. The CPU identifier is not significantly different in concept
from the MAC address, and yet there has not been a hue and cry to boycott
NIC manufacturers.

But whatever they could do with a CPU ID, they are probably already doing
with a MAC address. It is just as good as a unique identifier. "Get over
it" is exactly the right attitude.

This is actually the default. The technical details of using a cable modem
are not allowing a different and equally balanced up/download ratio at all.
It is a limitation of the cable technology .

Licensing, mostly. Of course unix licensing is far more mature than

I just have to step on this one a moment...
Where did you learn computers??? Do you know what "hostid" is really, and
its use and implications??? Do you know about demons, zones, and domains????
I have one of probably 1628904823e4 host ID's on my server only because I
use the same IP as the ones stated in 3 different RFC's about internal
private networks...
Is this over your head yet???
You cannot identify my boxes, any of them, from any of the rest of them out
there in the world. Then there's the story about "Dynamic" IP's which opens
the doors and windows some more on this.... Wanna keep going with this??!!!
The Intel thing is a whole different bag of worms entirely.

Well, there's a command called "hostid", and it makes a function call to
"sethostid" and/or "gethostid". However, it is not required that they return
unique values. For example, my Linux box (Cyrix processor) returns a number
that converts back to my IP address. That IP address may vary from time to
time. Some Digital UNIX boxes I just tried all return 0 for hostid. Some Sun
boxes return unique (at least unique between the few I looked at) values, and
they are not related to the IP address. However, the Sun boxes do not
constitute "every unix box in existance[sic]".

Can you explain how they would be getting a MAC address from my friends'
NIC-less pc?
A MAC address is not as good, in any event. NICs get changed mor often
than cpus (in most cases). IIRC MAC addresses can be changed, and there
have been cases of MAC addresses beinf reused?

Subject: Solaris x86 and Alpha Linux: Not Playing nicely

Hello,
I have setup the NFS server on RedHat 5.1 Linux on an AlphaStation 200. I
installed
the RPM from the CD. All the RC scripts where already in place so I left
them alone.
When I enter the command rpcinfo -p it shows that the portmapper has an
entry for
nfsd for tcp and udp as well as mountd. When I export a directory from
Solaris
and import to Linux, everything is great, but not vice versa. When I mount
the nfs file
system on Solaris, I get a warning about the NFS server not supporting
locking.
Everything seems ok at first but as time goes by I get NFS server not
responding
errors and can essentially do nothing in the NFS mounted directories. I have
read
the HOWTO and essentially followed it. Am I missing something here?
Thank you in advance.
