Hello everyone,
I have a ldap server running on another distro and I use it for a lot of
different things (such as users, passwords, and hosts) and it all works
fine on that distro. I'm also trying to get all of this to work in FC5
and so far I have gotten users and passwords to work but the hosts is
giving me problems. If I type getent hosts I see the complete list of
hosts as it should be but if I try to ping one of the hosts it just
hangs. If I try to ping the ip address everything works fine. I should
also note that I can't ping domain's either (such as yahoo.com) again it
just hangs but if I use a browser I can browse to them. On another
note, when I type getent hosts in the ldap console i can see the query
but when I try to ping a single domain I see nothing in the ldap
console, not even an attempt.

you need to confirm padl tools setup...
what's output of ???
grep host /etc/nsswitch
grep host /etc/ldap.conf
Craig
padl tools setup?
the hosts line from my ldap config
nss_base_hosts ou=Hosts,dc=example,dc=org
----
wouldn't it make sense to make the above line something that could
possibly be meaningful from ldap?
how about ldapsearch? can you get hosts by querying via ldapsearch?
if so, the answer to what you need in the line above should be obvious.
from nsswitch.conf
#hosts: db files nisplus nis dns
hosts: files dns ldap
Note: ldap was before dns but by moving it back i was able to ping
yahoo.com. But I still can't ping hosts in the hosts list.
----
probably should be running local dns for this but ldap.conf above is the
reason why it's not working for you.
Craig
Actually I was thinking about putting up a DNS server, I'm just not
excited about having another service to run and maintain but. The Hosts
line is actually not what i put i just didn't want to post my domain
name here however you could probably tell by my email. But the dn is
correct i a sure you.
