1) Is there someplace else that the hostname is stored?
The very first line in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is
HOSTNAME=`'bin/hostname`
so it has figured it out by that time.
In /etc/sysconfig/network have a line HOSTNAME=.....
Initially I was not able to get out to net from the client.I did a echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwardand I can now get out USING IP ADDRESSES. 2) I seem to remember that there is some preferred place to put this echo command, but cant remember where. I can put it anywhere, but would like it where it belongs (and where I can find it later).
In /etc/sysctl.conf have a line net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
3) From the outside I can ping the client with either name or IP address. From the client, I can ping, and do ssh, and whatever with IP addresses, I can't do them with host names. The /etc/resolv.conf is the same as on my other machines, but nslookup just hangs. Im confused on this one, any thoughts? Whats missing?
Dunno. What does dig www.google.com (or any known address) say? Is your firewall blocking outgoing dns? Have you checked output of: # iptables -L -n -- Nick Urbanik RHCE http://nicku.org nicku@xxxxxxxxx GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24
