We maintain a “master” /etc/hosts file just to document how are static IP’s are assigned. When I try to use the script I get asked for the zone name for each host. We use the DNS of the university rather than running one on the FreeIPA Fedora 25 server. This is a new install so I can redo this as needed. Here’s what I get:<div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">./nis-hosts.sh nisname <a href="http://subdomain.ourdomain.edu" class="">subdomain.ourdomain.edu</a></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">Zone name: </span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">ipa: ERROR: 'name' is required</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">awk: cmd. line:1: {print $3 "." <a href="http://subdomain.ourdomain.edu" class="">subdomain.ourdomain.edu</a> "." nisname ".in-addr.arpa."}</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">awk: cmd. line:1: ^ syntax error</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; min-height: 13px;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class=""></span><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">Zone name: subdomain</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">ipa: ERROR: DNS is not configured</span></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;" class="">Note I’m using our real domain and subdomain from above.
