Hi, I use SSH to connect to a laptop computer that is in an institutional network. I would like to set an entry for it in my local /etc/hosts, so that I don't have to type the IP address every time I want to connect to is and simply use an alias. As per the man page, /etc/hosts has:
IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases] To get the canonical_hostname I thought I'd easily get it by typing "dnshostname" when logged into the remote laptop, but that returns nothing, and "domainname" returns '(none)'. How should this canonical_hostname be specified in this case? Cheers, -- Seb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
