Mandrake 9.0 (still) - laptop moving all over the place (i.e. IP address obtained via DHCP) - having built some tools (phpMyAdmin, mysqlnavigator, etc.) while connected in one place, with the FQDN (instead of localhost) I am having now problems when trying to use those tools from different places. Reason: simple - unless I manually change the /etc/hosts with the specific IP address of my FQDN, nothing would work.
If I try the following two lines - one at a time - from the CLI, I get the proper $IPADDR: my_machine$ source /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info my_machine$ ping $IPADDR but if I try to use a script like this: source /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info $IPADDR machine.domain.extension machine inside /etc/hosts, or "cat"-ed or >>-ed to /etc/hosts, it does not seem to work?!? Does anybody have a cleaner way of updating /etc/hosts from dhcp info? Thx, Stef
