Set up DNS on 4.1.3

2007-12-25 10:21:00

Thanks to all the replies.

Actually I fotgot to mentioned that I just want to set up DNS client on my

nmachine.

There are several solution depends whether you are running the NIS or not.

Non-NIS setup

-------------

1) You have to recompile the libresolv.a , libc.sa and libc.so to make the

DNS work. In order to do that, you have to download the resolv+. I found

I have tried this and it works on my machine.

NIS setup

---------

1) Modify the Makefile lives in /var/yp/Makefile to build the maps. ( This

changes should made on the master NIS server but not the slave )

You need to uncomment the lines :

#B=-b

To change them to

B=-b

#B=

2) Rebuild the hosts map

cd /var/yp

make hosts.time

This will insert a "magic cookie" into th ehosts map that instruct the NIS

to query DNS if it can't find a host in the NIS hosts map.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
