[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host 172.16.1.13
Name: rowling.seranoa.com
Address: 172.16.1.13
and that looks pretty good but check out:
rowling:/home/dixon# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:B0:D0:18:B4:6D
inet addr:172.16.1.115 Bcast:172.16.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I managed to ssh into the box after changing /etc/hosts.deny (Thanks for
that pointer I hadn't thought to look there). And now it's about 4:20
so I guess I'll smoke like a pound of weed to get my IQ down to M$
levels and try to fix the DNS;0)
thanks for all your help and wish me luck with the darkside.
Andy
