[luau] RedHat, RR, and Hostname
I have been trying to fix an issue that I have with my RedHat 9 system. The system is connected via cable modem to RoadRunner, so it receives a DHCP IP. The DHCP client also provides a hostname. The hostname is NOT a FQDN so Gnome/GDM will not allow me to login when the system is set to the hostname provided by the DHCP client. I am able to log in into KDE fine, so I am not dead in the water. I have tried a few different things. First I applied a startup script that seemed to change the hostname to the FQDN of the assigned DHCP IP. This failed to correct the problem with Gnome/GDM. Then I put a local HOSTNAME entry in one of the /etc/sysconfig configuration files, and added the host to /etc/hosts. So the hostname is of my choosing, but of course it is not a FQDN. At least this method allows Apache to run, but I can not login via Gnome/GDM. Google searches found this same problem many times, but I was unable to find a resolution. Any suggestions? Steve A.

Typo or time warp? Dave - Original Message - From: Michael_Bishop/FARRINCS/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Saturday, July 26, 2003 6:45 pm Subject: [despammed] [luau] Installing Linux Class HOSEF will be hosting an Installing Linux Class (aka install fest) at McKinley Community School. Scott Belford will be teaching the hands-on how to install Linux class. For the installation, you can either practice on our computers or bring your own. If you want to practice on our computers, just bring yourself. If you want to install on your computer, just bring the CPU or laptop. We'll provide a monitor, keyboard, mouse and internet connection. As for the specs of the computer, we suggest at least a Pentium 2 with 128MB of RAM and a 3GB Hard Drive. However Linux will work fine on a Pentium 1, but just so you know, it will probably take longer to install Linux. You can setup Linux to dual boot between Linux and another OS (usually Windows). However, before attempting this, we highly recommend you backupyour data. While there are usually no problems setting up a dual boot, there is always a possibility of data loss however remote it may seem. We will not be responsible for any loss of data. Don't know what distribution of Linux to install, no problem. We have copies of all the major distributions and we can help find a distributionthat suits you and your needs.

Run redhat-config-network (aka neat), go into your ethernet device, under DHCP Settings uncheck Automatically obtain DNS information from provider and provide your own hostname there and in the DNS tab. Works for me. Warren

The procmail man page is not too helpful, but procmailex and procmailrc is packed with goodies. man procmailrc If the mailbox name ends in /, then this directory is presumed to be a maildir folder; i.e., proc- mail will deliver the message to a file in a subdirectory named tmp and rename it to be inside a subdirectory named new. If the mailbox is specified to be an MH folder or maildir folder, procmail will create the neces- sary directories if they don't exist, rather than treat the mailbox as a non-existent filename. -Vince

Works for me. Warren Tried it, but the system still has the same problem. It stays at the splash screen on an attempt to login via GDM. But I login to KDE without a hitch. When I launch Evolution in KDE, Evolution sits at the splash screen for a couple of minutes before the program actually comes up. Previously the machine was behind a Linksys router using an internal static IP without a glitch. As soon as I set it up to connect directly to RR, these problems appeared. Steve

A shot in the dark here, but have you tried setting a fully qualified name under /e*/sysc*/n*s/*eth0, /etc/sysconfig/network, and /etc/hosts? Previously the machine was behind a Linksys router using an internal static IP without a glitch. As soon as I set it up to connect directly to RR, these problems appeared. Not to digress too much, but is there a reason why it is no longer behind a NAT gateway? -Vince
