Send reply to: icarus@guldennet.nl Organization: Stichting Het GuldenNet - www.guldennet.nl To: SuSE Linux Mailing List Subject: [SLE] BIND8 issue I have made two master-zones in my BIND8 configuration. One forward, one reverse lookup zone. I've put this in my resolv.conf:
search mylocaldomain.com my-isps-domain.com nameserver 192.168.1.1 (that's the nameserver) nameserver 1.2.3.4 (nameserver of my isp)
I can traceroute through my 6.3-box and it displays the hostnames correctly, including the one of my box (not officially registered, the name is beeing returned by my nameserver).
Everything else is working perfectly for my clients. Forward AND reverse-lookups are always resolving. However, I still see "Connect from 192.168.1.2"-messages in my syslog, while those clients are clearly configured with a PTR-record, just like the linuxbox itself.
What am I doing wrong? I've made the same config over and over again. On another box it IS working, this is the only box that doesn't want to resolve names. Is it an oprion in inetd? Must I enable identd or something? Please help! ;-)
As far as i know, inetd will only log client IP addresses.. I have reverse domains enabled on a network that i used to administer and there are no FQDN's loged in the syslogs.. Please correct me if i am wrong about this one :)

Thanks,

Hi, I think you're partly right. On one server, I have identd running, and each time I connect to that host, it says: Mar 25 10:50:46 myhost identd[16397]: Connection from anotherhost.domain.com On this host, it just says: Mar 25 10:55:15 myhost2 in.telnetd[10593]: connect from icarus@1.2.3.4 This line was beeing submitted to syslog by in.telnetd, the other one by identd. So what I'm basically saying to myself is that inetd indeed doesn't log hostnames but ident does? But how do I get identd running on my system? (how the hell did I do that on the other box? ;-)) Popper keeps saying this: Mar 25 10:56:47 myhost2 popper[3370]: connect from 192.168.1.2 Mar 25 10:56:48 myhost2 popper[3370]: (v2.53) Unable to get canonical name of client, err = 2 Mar 25 10:56:48 myhost2 popper[3370]: Stats: icarus 0 0 0 0 Does popper use ident? I'm going to play with identd some more, I'll let you know if it works or not. Thanks for your helping hand!
