Nameserver

[O'lnes]

I am seting up a new system, can suggest how to config the /etc/resolv.conf file,
what 'domain' and 'nameserver' should add to?
Thanks

Hi,
/etc/resolv.conf
domain
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx

where xx.xx.xx.xx is the DNS server for your
domain.

Hi,

A set_parms addl_netwrk will do the neccessary for you....

[T G Manikandan]

you can do the way siva has given.
ALso you can go with simpler method like using

set_parms addl_netwrk

to configure that.


This automatically makes entries into resolv.conf file

Thanks

Sorry to my igorance, can briefly explain how to use the file set_parms addl_netwrk , do i need to modify the file ? Thanks.

[Marc Dijkstra]

It is a command

man set_parms

But the addl_netwrk is the argument, it will guide you thru the domain, subnet NIS etc setups...

Hi
Enter the command
#set_parms addl_netwrk

this will first ask you the subnet,gateway IP's, then in the next step it ask you for Domain name and name server IP.
Giving all these info will create you the /etc/resolv.conf file

Hi,

The man page gives details of all available options that can be set in resolv.conf.

Try

# man resolv.conf

Hope this helps.

Thanks

The easiest in my opinion is simply to edit the resolv.conf file. /etc/resolv.conf

Domain is your domain. nameserver is the ip address of the DNS server that you want to hit. You can list multiple DNS servers and it will hit them in order. So if one is down it will try the next one.



domain
nameserver nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
nameserver nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

I can't man 'set_parms' , what rpm should be setup? Thanks.
