How to change domainname ^^^^^^^^^^ (emphasis for Lars)

I run opensuse 11.2 without x and no yast

By adjusting the content of /etc/HOSTNAME and calling

service boot.localnet restart

Sure? $ cat /etc/HOSTNAME slarty $ dnsdomainname dhaller.de $ domainname $ What you want to do is edit /etc/hosts. You should have 127.0.0.1 fully.qualified.host.domain.tld alias1 alias2 (with alias1 = hostname). You can also check with: $ hostname slarty $ hostname -d dhaller.de $ hostname -f slarty.dhaller.de The /etc/hosts contains the corresponding line for that: 127.0.0.1 slarty.dhaller.de localhost slarty (if you don't use the FQDN as the first name after the IP, hostname -f will report that, not the FQDN. And, some apps will fail doing "what is right and proper", e.g. as domain-part in Msg-IDs [Ed. note: loud and explicit cursing elided]). For IPv6, you'll need matching entries for ::1 (IIRC, I'm not into IPv6). Oh, and setup your /etc/nsswitch.conf accordingly with at least: hosts: files dns And I got quite a bunch of other stuff in my hosts, e.g.: 127.0.1.1 pagead.googlesyndication.com pagead2.googlesyndication.com 127.0.1.1 ad.doubleclick.com ad.doubleclick.net ad.uk.doubleclick.net 127.0.1.1 www.google-analytics.com ssl.google-analytics.com google-analytics.com I wish one could use wildcards there ;) -dnh PS: Anyone else here read nsswitch.conf as "nameserver service witch", or something alike, with "witch" at the end anyway, not "switch"?

No. It has to be /etc/hosts

Actually no, it has to be "whatever it is you are using for hostname lookups" At work I have nothing in /etc/hosts, it's all from dns, and if this is the case, updating /etc/hosts only would be grounds for summary execution. You don't want one machine to have a different idea of its domain than all other machines Also, don't forget to update services. smtp, http, most things have their own config files where the domain name is stored Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yes.

Take a look at http://pgl.yoyo.org/as/ Its not wild-cards but it does offer a way of dealing with in DNS.

Well, that's basically what I do, resp. trying to dig up all IPs for those hosts.
