Re: BIND: How to reply rev lookup with hostname and not FQDN

2012-12-27 Thread José Pablo Méndez Soto
Ah silly me... I was configuring the reverse zone file to return the
FQDN.

So, to achieve what I wrote this email thread initially, its a matter of
changing the PTR line for this specific server/record, from

10  IN  PTR ucm9pub.arda.inet.

to

10  IN  PTR ucm9pub.

However, I got this fixed by doing a full restart of named instead of small
reloads.

Turns out,  the reply from BIND was appending the in.arpa-net to the FQDN,
and here is where the other software was complaining. To avoid appending
that suffix, there must be a dot at the end of

10  IN  PTR ucm9pub.arda.inet.

However, for some reason it was there before, and the reloads were not
applying it. I got it to work by using the above line and service named
restart.

Thanks,

Not following. You suggest to program BIND to strip off the domain if the
query comes from certain IP¿?

I am trying to install the server but getting the error I posted on my 2nd
email. I am getting from the situation described, that the hostname is not
matching the FQDN.

Sorry, forgot to add the error I get:

"Host Name returned by DNS Server for IP address does not agree with the
locally defined hostname. There is a configuration mismatch."

BIND: How to reply rev lookup with hostname and not FQDN

2012-12-27 Thread José Pablo Méndez Soto
Hello geniuses!

I'm running SL carbon here and BIND. There is one piece of software I need
to install, that is failing as follows:

When I configure its TCP/IP settings, the hostname I give to it is ucm9pub
(I can't even add the domain name, it rejects the dots). From a packet
capture I see the response from the DNS server as hostname.domain.ext, and
that is why I believe the install fails the reverse lookup.

How can I reduce the response from BIND to spit out only the hostname?
Like, just ucm9pub instead of ucm9pub.domain.ext?

Thanks!

Re: SL 6.3 doesn't no network present until user logs in on GUI.

2012-12-09 Thread José Pablo Méndez Soto
Ok guys thanks for putting me in good direction.

The thing is, if you don't select the Available to all users check box in
the Network Manager Applet, there *won't be a file under
/etc/sysconfig/*for the desired network adapter, and therefore, there
will be no networking
before any of the users log in.

Putting a file inside that directory will help, but I guess the recommended
way would be to select the check box

Thanks a lot.

SL 6.3 doesn't no network present until user logs in on GUI.

2012-12-09 Thread José Pablo Méndez Soto
Hello,

I am playing around with SL instead of CentOS so to know which one behaves
better or just to have a criteria on how they both differ, being RedHat
re-distros.

I noticed that my virtual machine with GUI, that I built from the
SL-63-x86_64-2012-08-02-Install-DVD.iso, won't reply to pings or open SSH
sessions until a user logs in.

I tried the same on a CentOS  6.2 built similarly, and no matter if there
are users or no users logged in, it always have networking and you can SSH
into it.

Any idea about this difference? Can it be changed in SL so to initiate
connections before a GUI log in?

Thanks,
