Hi, all, I've installed djbdns on my home network and I have stretched my competence past the breaking point in doing so.
I have gotten it to supply ip addresses for all of my local machines using my own local nis domain name. But, in doing so, I've managed to screw up host based authentication for ssh, and I'd like to undo the damage. Before djbdns, I could ssh into any of my local machines w/o suppling a password. After djbdns, I get this response to an ssh: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~--> ssh tobey get_socket_address: getnameinfo 8 failed: Name or service not known userauth_hostbased: cannot get local ipaddr/name Password: man getnameinfo suggests that getnameinfo does ip address to name translation. And, sure enough, If I try an nslookup on a local ip address, djbdns can't supply me with the machine name. For example, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~--> nslookup 192.168.1.104 Server: 192.168.1.254 Address: 192.168.1.254#53 ** server can't find 104.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN I have a feeling that I should add some sort of record into the local database to make the ip to name translation possible, but I don't know enough about nameserving, ssh, or authentication to figure out what to do next. Any ideas? Thanks, John Blinka -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
