In the last week or so, somebody posted email about the 'wrong' hostname
showing up in lpq reports. I am currently email impaired and cannot get
to my archive, but as I recall when the user did:
lpq [EMAIL PROTECTED]
They got back:
Status from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then .... @localhost
I stared at this and could not figure out what may have caused it.
I have been working on some networking issues in another area, and
have just run into a similar issue but for a different utility.
The problem was caused because the hostname was set to 'localhost':
The hostname was set by:
hostname goldenfleece.com <- ok
But in /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost goldenfleece.com goldenfleece argonuts.com argonuts
When a connection was accepted, the hostname corresponding to the
IP address was looked up using gethostbyaddr and 'localhost' was returned.
You may have some similar issues - check your DNS or /etc/hosts file.
