[leaf-user] Can't ping/ssh LEAF firewall by name
Hello, My Bering-uClibc firewall is mostly working in my test set-up, except that nodes on my LAN cannot access the firewall by name (default firewall). The LAN nodes can ping each other by name. I am using DHCP. In the dnsmasq configuration I have set resolv-file= /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf local=/localdomain/ interface=eth1 domain=localdomain When I connect via cable modem the contents of this file look OK: search hsd1. tx.comcast.net. nameserver 68.87.85.98 nameserver 68.87.69.146 The contents of /etc/resolv.conf are nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 192.168.1.254 and my /etc/hosts file reads 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.254 firewall Access to internet sites is OK. The system is acting like it is ignoring the /etc/hosts file. I'm not a newbie, but neither am I an expert in networking. I'm suspicious of my setting for local and domain, but not for any particular reason. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello Richard, If you (restart) the dnsmasq daemon, do you see the follwing lines in /var/log/daemon.log? .. May 7 21:50:07 firewall dnsmasq[29611]: read /etc/hosts - 12 addresses May 7 21:50:07 firewall dnsmasq[29611]: reading /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf .. Also, how do you ping the firewall? By FQDN (so firewall.domain part) If you want to ping the firewall by just the short name, you have to enable the following option in dnsmasq.conf # Set this (and domain: see below) if you want to have a domain # automatically added to simple names in a hosts-file. expand-hosts domain=private.network Eric Hello, My Bering-uClibc firewall is mostly working in my test set-up, except that nodes on my LAN cannot access the firewall by name (default firewall).

I checked the daemon.log, which confirmed that the hosts file was indeed being read. I tried both of your suggestions and both worked for me.
