Subject: Re: How to change the domainname ????
I have a laptop, with a fixed ip-address, and i want to change its
domainname. The current domainname is: local.
So i did a compleet NEW installation of Debian 5.0 and formatted the file
system during installation. I did give the new domainname: thuis.local.
If i look at the /etc/host file, i see:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.10 debian.thuis.local debian
I THINK, THIS IS AS SHOULD BE
If I look in /etc/resolv.conf.I see:
search thuis.local
nameserver 192.168.0.x
nameserver 192.168.0.y
I THINK, THIS IS AS SHOUL:D BE
If I look in /etc/network/interfaces. I see:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.z
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.x 192.168.0.y
dns-search thuis.local
I THINK, THIS IS AS SHOULD BE.
If i look in the /var/log/syslogfile, i see:
Nov 8 20:14:11 debian avahi-deamon[2464]: Server startup complete. Host
name
is debian.local local service cookie is 3066543992.
Why is at startup the name debian.local ???
I have asked to give the hostname debian and the domainname thuis.local.
And more important how can i change it
127.0.0.1 localhost.thuis.local localhost
127.0.0.1 debian.thuis.local debian # may not be necessary
Hi Tom,
I did the things you said, but unfortunatelly, it maded no change.
Thanks
I have changed the line in /etc/host
from 127.0.0.1 localhost into 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost -->
this makes no difference for the syslog file: the hostname there is still
debian.local
I added 127.0.0.1.debian.thuis.local debian --> I get no change. And
because i have seen in other logfiles, that this could give some messages
with binding the name to the ip-address, I commeted it out again.
There is no change in the line:
Nov 8 20:14:11 debian avahi-deamon[2464]: Server startup complete. Host name
is debian.local local service cookie is 3066543992. Only the cookie number
is different..
