[opensuse] More Networking Configuration: Local Aliases
Hi, Having switched my two systems from their fake names to the synthetic but real DNS names assigned by the ISP based on their (static) IP address, I find I am no longer able to access these hosts by their local aliases. I have these lines in /etc/hosts on "twain": # Fayette208 LAN 208.201.233.232 twain 208.201.233.233 smiley On "smiley", I have these: # Fayette208 LAN 208.201.233.233 208-201-233-233.dsl.static.sonic.net 208-201-233-233 smiley 208.201.233.232 208-202-233-232.dsl.static.sonic.net 208-202-233-232 twain However, the names "smiley" and "twain" do not work on either system to refer to themselves or each other. What's the configuration I need to be able to use the short aliases on these two hosts?

Having switched my two systems from their fake names to the synthetic but real DNS names assigned by the ISP based on their (static) IP address, I find I am no longer able to access these hosts by their local aliases.
I have these lines in /etc/hosts on "twain":
# Fayette208 LAN 208.201.233.232 twain 208.201.233.233 smiley
On "smiley", I have these:
# Fayette208 LAN 208.201.233.233 208-201-233-233.dsl.static.sonic.net 208-201-233-233 smiley 208.201.233.232 208-202-233-232.dsl.static.sonic.net 208-202-233-232 twain
However, the names "smiley" and "twain" do not work on either system to refer to themselves or each other.
What's the configuration I need to be able to use the short aliases on these two hosts?

Randall, From you resolv.conf, I take it you are on 208.201.233.0/24, you don't have a caching only dns setup so you are looking to 208.201.224.11 & 13 for name resolution?? I can't tell you why /etc/hosts isn't getting searched, but Patrick is right, the /etc/hosts entries should look something like: # Syntax: # # IP-Address Full-Qualified-Hostname Short-Hostname # 127.0.0.1 localhost # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 ipv6-localnet ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts 127.0.0.2 ecstasy.3111skyline.com ecstasy 192.168.6.15 ecstasy.3111skyline.com ecstasy It also makes sense that from resolv.conf nameserver 208.201.224.11 & 13 wouldn't be of much help with internal addresses on 208.201.233.0/24 if I understand what your setup looks like?? -- David C.

Randall, what does your /etc/nsswitch.conf look like? It should have a hosts: line that mentions "files". If it doesn't your /etc/hosts won't be consulted.

You've got it right and my hosts file now has only a single alias. The man page for /etc/hosts makes is quite clear multiple aliases are allowed, so there wasn't any thing wrong with either of my /etc/hosts files as I had them. It still seems like they're being ignored.

Regardless, it doesn't work. Does anyone out there have working aliases for hosts on their LANs? If so, is there a trick? Some sort of magic incantation? Maybe a blood sacrifice of some sort I must make? (My cat draws blood from time to time, if that would count.)

I actually think this won't work, and the reason I think that is that I'm virtually certain that my /etc/hosts is _not_ being consulted at all. I added a line for the address I had before moving across town (and I landed on a part of the network that forced my ISP to give me new IP addresses): 64.142.14.4 64-142-14-4.dsl.static.sonic.net twain-of-yore And still this: % host twain-of-yore Host twain-of-yore not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Good idea. % strace ping twain-of-yore -c 1 2>&1 |egrep hosts open("/etc/hosts", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 5 read(5, "#\n# hosts This file desc"..., 4096) = 944 % ll /etc/hosts -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 944 2009-04-09 12:22 /etc/hosts Later on (in the strace output) I see the binding of the address for twain-of-yore and the attempt to ping that address. However, this led to some more interesting discoveries. First of all, that host ("twain-of-yore") is either not in service or is not responding to pings. It's just an address that's still floating in my mind. So I tried to ping twain and smiley (by those names) and... it WORKED! So I straced that ping invocation, and it does indeed open nsswitch.conf, resolv.conf and hosts. Next I traced the "host" command. It _does not_ use nsswitch. It only opens resolv.conf. So there's been some "red herring" effect going on here. I've repeatedly tested my modifications to /etc/hosts by using the "host" command, which apparently is only for querying the DNS system, bypassing any local aliases! Another proud D'Oh! moment.

Thats as it should be. If you want host command to work add a file to /etc/named.d/ for bambi and include it (or the meta include) in /etc/named.conf This will also allow your samba server to resolve other names and aliases. This is a bind (named) issue, not a hosts file issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ah, that's interesting, I may do that.
This is a bind (named) issue, not a hosts file issue.
That part I know :-) I used "bambi" because that's one entry I have in hosts but not in named, to test a somewhat similar configuration to that of Randall and see for myself. But now I might add that configuration to named - hoping that vmware keeps the IPs it gives to different virtual machines stable, or configuring named might be a waste of time. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It's almost as if /etc/hosts isn't being consulted at all. Along those lines, resolv.conf includes these (non-comment) lines:
search sonic.net nameserver 208.201.224.11 nameserver 208.201.224.33
What happens when you have only nameserver 127.0.0.1 -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
