 |
|
Hi there,
firstly apologies if i'm missing something completely obvious, i usually do, but i have spent a while on this and i'm getting pretty stuck.
my first problem is that when i define my dns domain name in /etc/conf.d/net it overwrites resolv.conf
/etc/conf.d/net looks like this
| Code: |
config_eth0=( "10.0.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 10.0.0.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 10.0.0.2" )
dns_domain_lo="melbourne.org"
nis_domain_lo="melbourne57"
|
this then makes resolv.conf look like this
| Code: |
# generated by net-scripts for interface lo
domain melbourne.org
|
which then means i can't access the gateway so no internet access.
So basically what i'm after is a way to define the dns domain names without overwriting resolv, or get the default gateway to work another way?
thanks for any help that anyone can offer
Mike

You need to add | Code: | | dns_servers_eth0="192.168.0.2 192.168.0.3" |
changing your dns_domain_lo and nis_domain_lo to _eth0. These example servers (from /etc/conf.d/net.example) will have to be changed, of course.

thanks for that,
thats got the internet working on this machine again so i can now copy and paste files 
so now /etc/conf.d/net looks like this
| Code: |
config_eth0=( "10.0.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 10.0.0.255" )
routes_eth0=( "default gw 10.0.0.2" )
dns_domain_lo="melbourne.org"
dns_servers_eth0="10.0.0.2"
nis_domain_lo="melbourne57"
|
and now resolv.conf looks like this
| Code: | # Generated by net-scripts for interface eth0
nameserver 10.0.0.2 |
am i not supposed to have the domain melbourne.org mentioned in resolv.conf for me to be part of that domain?
sorry to be fussy about this but i'm trying to learn NIS and i'm going to be using this machine as a client whilst i "try" to set it up!
thanks

the last part of /etc/conf.d/net should be | Code: | dns_domain_eth0="melbourne.org"
dns_servers_eth0="10.0.0.2"
nis_domain_eth0="melbourne57" |
that is, "dns_domain_lo" -> "dns_domain_eth0" and "nis_domain_lo" -> "nis_domain_eth0"

"fussy" gets things done right!

No. There's a reason why the handbook has so many references to "go read conf.d/net.example" -- because it's the place for this information. If you're doing advanced networking configuration, then you should be using the examples in net.example; they give more detail than we can provide in the handbook. |
