I am having trouble with my Debian network configuration, and I am trying to isolate the problem. The name of my host is "jupiter" and the name of my domain is "obliqueuniverse.org".
jupiter:~# echo jupiter.obliqueuniverse.org > /etc/hostname jupiter:~# cat /etc/hosts | sed –n 1p 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost jupiter jupiter:~# cat /etc/hosts | sed –n 4p 207.237.37.110 jupiter.obliqueuniverse.org jupiter I believe that /bin/hostname without options should output the host name "jupiter", but it doesn't. Here's what I get when I run /bin/ hostname: jupiter:~# /bin/hostname -–domain obliqueuniverse.org # AS EXPECTED jupiter:~# hostname –-fqdn jupiter.obliqueuniverse.org # AS EXPECTED jupiter:~# /bin/hostname –-ip-address 207.237.37.110 # AS EXPECTED jupiter:~# /bin/hostname –short jupiter # AS EXPECTED jupiter:~# /bin/hostname –nis (none) # ? ? ? jupiter:~# /bin/hostname jupiter.obliqueuniverse.org # EXPECTED "jupiter" jupiter:~# /bin/hostname –F /etc/hostname <NO OUTPUT> # EXPECTED "jupiter" jupiter:~# /bin/hostname –-alias jupiter # NOW HOSTNAME IS PRINTED! Can anyone shed light on the last 4 results? Thanks & Best Regards, Vwaju New York City -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
