Hello Folks,
Recently, I faced very strange problem.
I'm using 3 different versions of RH Linux:
1. Linux version 2.4.21-4.ELsmp (bhcompile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)) #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:52:56 EDT 2003
2. Linux version 2.4.21-20.ELsmp (bhcompile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-42)) #1 SMP Wed Aug 18 20:34:58 EDT 2004
AMD64 version.
3. Linux version 2.4.18-14bigmem (bhcompile@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #1 SMP Wed Sep 4 11:58:10 EDT 2002
The following resolv file exists on all systems:
search mydomain.local
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.2
Name resolution works fine on versions 8 and on AMD64, when I ping computername, the answer is:
computername.mydomain.local
However, on RHEL X86 version (number 1 on the above list) name resolution works strange -- when I ping computername the answer is error: ping: unknown host computername, BUT when I ping fqdn for the same computer -- computername.mydomain.local the I receive the correct answer.
How can I solve that? I have 4 machines running RHEL X86 version, all of them suffer from the same problem.
I would be very gratefull for any help.
Thanks,
Gary.
