Re: [Server-devel] Can't get XS to do nameserver/resolv.conf properly, unable to access URLs
Martin, I got the name serving (DNS client) working. Basically I had to grep my entire /etc for instances of "random.xs.laptop.org" and change that to the correct value for our ISP provider. It seems that "service network restart" doesn't re-read the updated /etc/resolv.conf, and so rebooting is required. One key change is creating /etc/sysconfig/olpc_net_config file. This file indicates that the system has already been booted before and not to over-write any IP configurations that are generated on the first boot with DHCP values for eth0. We have static IP, and specified BOOTPROTO=STATIC, but the XS image keeps over-writing what I had done previously, only to find out it did this because "olpc_net_config" never gets created. By manually creating, it stopcs these other actviities. Thanks Tony Pearson Senior Storage Consultant, IBM System Storage?

Try using the 'dig' command perhaps. > I took tarballs of each /etc directory, and ran a "diff" against them. "<" That list does not look right - it shows a lot of files that aren't really different. We have plenty of custom files, but not *that* many ;-) cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
