Hi,
Thanks for your response on the kernel switching. I was away and could not reply immediately.
Right now, I am facing a different issue. I have to set up DNS server using BIND on Centos 4.3. When I type the hostname on Centos, it shows: sipserver.vodcalocal.com But the cli prompt has root@sipserver ~ meaning only the sipserver part of the hostname is displayed. why is this so? What is the actual hostname then? I see in the /etc/sysconfig/network that the hostname is sipserver.vodcalocal.com the /etc/hosts file has the following content:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost sipserver 192.168.50.51 sipserver.vodcalocal.com
The /etc/sysconfig/network has the following config:
NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=sipserver.vodcalocal.com
I have seen in many forums that the /etc/sysconfig/network file has many other entries like domain name, gateway type, gateway ip etc, which are not present in my configuration.
when i type $ domainname, i get-- (none)
$ domainname -d vodcalocal.com
$ domainname -f sipserver.vodcalocal.com
Why does not the command domainname list the domain name? also domainname -f and domainname -d display different results. can the machine have the domainname and hostname same if I am going to run dns server on it?
I run a SIP server on this PC which needs the domainname set but whenever I type echo $DOMAIN_NAME, it shows blank and I have to export the path variable DOMAIN NAME and set it. On another screen, I again dont see the domain name set. How to set the domain name across all terminals and sessions and restarts?an
Thanks Padmaja
