Howdy,
Hmm, I'm not sure how to ask this. it goes like this:
We've leased a Red Hat server at a hosting co. When we first leased it it
didn't have a domian name, so the hosting co filled in what basically
amounts to bogus host info. Now we have a dns entry pointing to the IP of
this box, and I need to set up linuxconf correctly.
I'm used to suse, where there's only one line to fill out:
hostname.domain_or_workgroup_name[.tld if any]
however linuxconf has several places, which I find very confusing:
linuxconf > Client Tasks > Basic Host information and
Name Server specification
I really can't figure out how to set these up properly, I thought I had it
right, but nothing changed, and email still won't go through.
Can anyone give a short explanation of what to put where? Pleas note that
this isn't a DNS server; I'm just trying to get the server's own hostname
working properly?
I need to know what goes in these places:
linuxconf > Client Tasks > Basic Host information
Hostname:
Primary name + domain name:
Aliases
linuxconf > Client Tasks > Name Server specification
[X] DNS is required for normal operation
default domain:
