But "127.0.1.1" is your own localhost. The entire 127 network is your localhost, always, not another machine. Tri pinging, it works.
I have three entries in /etc/hosts on each Linux client: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 host.domain host 192.168.1.3 server.domain server
with /etc/HOSTNAME containing host only
Without the 127.0.1.1, hostname -f does not work and not much else does either.
But I don't have any entry for 127.0.1.1 and hostname -f works fine. If you need an entry for that IP in the DNS, you can write it, it is fixed because it is always localhost, by definition. 127.*.*.* == localhost
An alternative is to give the clients a fixed IP and use that instead of the 127.0.1.1. But if the windows clients can use dhcp, why can't our openSUSE clients use it from the same server?
You can not assign 127.0.1.1 to any client, that will not work. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
