For example, it's easier for me to "ssh xyclone" than it is to "ssh 192.168.0.64". The hostname is grabbed by many programs, then that's looked up via DNS and the /etc/hosts file to get an IP address. However, any traffic over the network is done via the IP address--the host names aren't involved. By default "localhost" and "localhost.localdomain" refer to the IP address of 127.0.0.1. This is generally tied to the pseudo-interface called "lo" (for "loopback"), and this is reflected by the default entry in /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost This guarantees that any network-oriented stuff (such as CUPS or X) will have a hostname to work on, and any network stuff won't leave your box. Now, when you create a real host name, it must be related to an IP address somehow. This can be done via an entry in the /etc/hosts file or a DNS entry on your DNS server somewhere. For small, private networks (less than, say, 20 machines), I tend to maintain an /etc/hosts file with all the entries in it and ship it to all the nodes rather than set up a DNS server. For example, the hosts file on my machines at home have entries such as: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.0.1 router 192.168.0.10 wap 192.168.0.50 shuttle 192.168.0.64 xyclone 192.168.0.92 labrat1 192.168.0.128 bigdog and all the machines have their hostnames set appropriately. xyclone is the main machine in my network, so it could easily run a DNS server with these entries in it, and the other machines could set up their /etc/resolv.conf files to point at it: nameserver 192.168.0.64 I'd only have to maintain the DNS server instead of each machine's hosts file in that case. It's really a matter of scale. My network is pretty static, so it really wouldn't buy me anything to go the DNS route, so I stick with the hosts files. Yeah, it's old school and sorta stupid, but it works. I always remember my motto, though: "If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid!" Our company has over 10,000 servers in 10 data centers around the world, so we run 14 DNS servers (two primaries, six secondaries and six caches) in different parts of the world. It's much easier to manage DNS on the two primaries (and let it propagate to the secondaries and caches) than thousands of hosts files. In addition you can do things like round-robin load balancing, virtual hosting and a bunch of stuff with DNS you can't do with hosts files. If you want to "look like a pro", learn and implement DNS. Doing it on a small home network is a great way to learn how. You can also dabble in DHCP server configuration and dynamic DNS updates from the DHCP server and really have a good grasp on how the "big dawgs" do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a - - rigged demo. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From buzdavis at earthlink.net Fri Jun 1 19:21:42 2007 From: buzdavis at earthlink.net (Buz Davis) Date: Fri, 01 Jun 2007 15:21:42 -0400 Subject: printer suddenly disappeared In-Reply-To: <20070601160035.4CC5A73CE7@hormel.redhat.com> References: <20070601160035.4CC5A73CE7@hormel.redhat.com> Message-ID: <466071C6.5020109@earthlink.net> Rick Stevens wrote: .... > > We also have to ask...why are you still running RH9?

Well, Fedora is available on CD as is CentOS (the free version of Red Hat Enterprise). Virtually all major distros are available on CD, but you may have to hunt for them. Here's some links: For Fedora: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/LocalVendors For CentOS: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=24 > Also, I'm not sure > my hardware is capable of running later editions. (As a matter of fact > on a couple of machines with more limited memory than my desktop I am > running RH6.2) Ah, yes, that can be an issue. Fedora, RHEL and CentOS on 2.6 kernels do suck up some serious RAM, but it depends on what run level you're at. If you don't run in GUI mode, 256MB should work for most of them. As far as hardware is concerned, FC7 doesn't have a build for anything less than a i686, so if you're running 386, 486 or 586, you may have problems. FC6 and earlier, RHEL and CentOS shouldn't have such issues. The hardware support for other things is much better than in RH9, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Of course, the only way to know for sure is to try. > I don't want to move to some other vendor because, to be frank, I have > come to regard the quality of advice I get from this list very highly > and don't want to leave you guys! That's awful nice of you, Buz! To be honest, most of the other major distros (Ubuntu, SuSE, etc.) have pretty active user communities and are of great help. Remember, on this list we're just users like yourself. A Red Hattie does check in on occasion, but this is virtually all user-generated. For example, I work for VitalStream/Internap. I'm a RH user from way, way back, but I have no "official" standing with RH (well, I am an assistant sysop on this list, but that's it). Red Hat provides the list server, we (you, me and the other subscribers) generate what goes on it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - When all else fails, try reading the instructions. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From pkhera_2001 at rediffmail.com Tue Jun 5 11:30:03 2007 From: pkhera_2001 at rediffmail.com (parveen kumar khera) Date: 5 Jun 2007 11:30:03 -0000 Subject: Idle session gets disconnected after 1 hour Message-ID: <20070605113003.27410.qmail@webmail58.rediffmail.com> Hi All!

It rather depends on what you're trying to do. iptables can only limit based on source or destination IP addresses or NICs. Squid can limit based on virtual hosts and such. vsFTPd can limit FTP bandwidth. Since you haven't said exactly what this machine is doing and precisely what you're trying to limit, it's hard to advise you on which is best. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens at internap.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From rstevens at internap.com Wed Jun 6 17:15:29 2007 From: rstevens at internap.com (Rick Stevens) Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2007 10:15:29 -0700 Subject: subject Re: pc comm station speaker phone In-Reply-To: <200706061140.19481.tyche@ica.net> References: <200706051957.14601.tyche@ica.net> <1181117885.5069.45.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> <200706061140.19481.tyche@ica.net> Message-ID: <1181150129.5069.73.camel@prophead.corp.publichost.com> On Wed, 2007-06-06 at 11:40 -0400, tyche at ica.net wrote: > On Wednesday 06 June 2007 04:18, Rick Stevens wrote: > > On Tue, 2007-06-05 at 19:57 -0400, tyche at ica.net wrote: > > > i recently acquired a compaq pc speaker phone. this thing was made in > > > 2000 according to the booklet with it. i didnt get the drivers. any one > > > know if this is usable with fc? > > > > I've never even heard of such a beast!

I'm assuming there's a mic in the speaker box as well. Otherwise I can't see how it'd work as a speaker phone. Smells a bit like the D-Link Eye-2-eye H.323 beastie, but that's stand-alone (doesn't require a computer). > there is also supposed to be a plug that gets plugged into an lcd monitor, tho > where that particular wire gets plugged in, gok, as there is no other ports > open on the speaker box. i kinda got it working on my 98 based laptop. volume > up as far as it will go, but with the phone handle off the hook, dont get > much volume from the speaker. Weird. I'll bet that the USB bit isn't just for power, but also how the unit routes the audio between the handset and the mic/speaker combo. Assuming the handset is on hook, it takes the input from the mic in the speaker box and feeds it to the phone, and takes the earpiece sound from the phone and plays it back through the speaker. When off-hook, that's all disabled. > with what little experimentation i have done on this device, its seems like a > good idea gone bad. hp/compaq doesn't seem to realize that this device even > exists. will just have to try it out and see what happens.

I sent the original last night but from yahoo email (under which I am not registered) and it never appeared so I figure it got filtered somehow. I have just "finished" installing a small home network consisting of three machines: a redhat 6.2 box, a redhat 9 box, and a windows box. These are connected to a belkin router, which in turn is connected to my dsl modem. I managed to get everything going using dhcp (to which the router defaulted) but couldn't figure how to create a robust exports file for nfs when the ip addresses might change. So I just converted everything to a fixed ip network. I am happy to say things still work, and I can still access the printer attached to the rh9 box. (I had trouble with this earlier, due to changing the hostname). (I was surprised but pleased to see that after converting to a fixed ip network the 'localhost' name in the logon prompt was replaced from the /etc/hosts file). The one thing that is different is that now on booting it takes about two minutes for sendmail to come up, and about one minute for sm-client to come up. They both come up OK, but it takes much longer than before with dhcp (and also before networking at all). Back then these came up without delay. Can anyone suggest why they are now slow and what I might do to speed them ? Thanks.

I want to install the kernel-devel package so I can build a kernel module so I am assuming that I *must* have the correct matching kernel-devel package to match my installed kernel. Or doesn't it matter between i586 and i686. Can someone enlighten me please. Thank you. -- Kind Regards, Graeme. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You should download and install some Fedora Core version 4 or later (FC7 is current), or buy RedHat ES 4 or 5 if you will be running a commercial operation and need some hand-holding. That said, there are plenty of us running FC* in a commecial environment. As to your problem, unless you are running equally antique hardware, RH7.2 probably does not have adequate drivers for the video card.

I had this problem on FC6 a while back (week or 2) and found that I had to uninstall the affected packages, and during the install, saw that some of the NONFREE stuff was uninstalled with it. I reinstalled without the non-free stuff and things worked fine. Check that path.

There is a way to install just GRUB to your machine. Realistically it sounds like you might have to do this manually. The red hat installer *SHOULD* load it according to your preference (and it should NOT install it if that is what you told it to do at install time). Sounds like yours got hosed somehow. I am not surprised, I have had issues with it as well recently that did not happen in prior releases. {OR you could just switch to ubuntu like 8 million others have done in 2 short years.
