Who is altering my hostname?
Hello,
I have a virtual server with a Debian etch installed by myself from
debootstrap. The machine has two IPs assigned:
# ifconfig
venet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr
00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:127.0.0.1 P-t-P:127.0.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:136 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

inet addr:84.19.178.252 P-t-P:84.19.178.252 Bcast:0.0.0.0

00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet addr:84.19.179.252 P-t-P:84.19.179.252 Bcast:0.0.0.0
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
The interface config I have set in /etc/network/interfaces copied from the
default installation.
I set the /etc/hostname:
osiris.centershock.net
and /etc/hosts:
84.19.178.252 osiris.centershock.net osiris
84.19.179.252 isis.centershock.net isis
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
The names resolv to this IP and the reverse PTR also to the names. But after a
reboot the two files have changed somehow:
km22204-07.keymachine.de
and
84.19.178.252 osiris.centershock.net osiris
84.19.179.252 isis.centershock.net isis
127.0.0.1 km22204-07.keymachine.de km22204-07 localhost localhost.localdomain
The /etc/resolv.conf is also altered:
search keymachine.de # This line has been added
nameserver 84.19.178.252
nameserver 84.19.188.171
keymachine is my hoster.
What could this make happen? In /etc/init.d/ there is nothing like a dhcp
client. I have also removed some packages with dhcp in their names.
Any idea what makes these two files changing and how to avoid it?
Thanks a lot,
Florian
