I only have the local dns in the resolv.conf file andromeda:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf search corena.dk nameserver 10.5.0.3
I've added an entry for the server in the hosts file: andromeda:~# cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.5.0.7 andromeda.corena.dk andromeda 192.168.0.5 merkur.corena.dk merkur But it keeps claiming: "NO PING RESPONSE" Is there a way of debugging what is actually going on? - Or maybe to increase the timeout value or something like that. I have a very hard time figuring out what it is that BackupPC does "wrong" - since I'm able to login, su to the backuppc user and execute the ping -c 1 merkur command _EVERY_ time...and I get instant response every time... Can I change the ping parameter in the per-pc config for that particular host, to try and mangle a bit around with it?
