host command not seeming to use /etc/hosts file
by Robert Moskowitz 02 May '14

02 May '14

F20 I put an IPv4 entry for a server in my /etc/hosts file. I can 'ping bob', but 'host bob' comes back with: Host bob not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) I have this vague memory from years back about a file that set precedence of hosts file and dns for fqdn lookup. Can't remember it of find it. Of course the problem might simply be the host command is incapable of processing the /etc/hosts file? thanks for any help on this.

Thank again, I remember that I took the control on this machine. but I cannot do it again. Even in the past, I was able to use nomachine, but not anymore. with remmina, the only thing that I can do is a text session I cannot use the nx, rdp,xdmcp session. I can get: Command xqproxy not found on SSH server I am surprised that vncviewer does not work. It works very well when I connect to a machine on the same lan What do you think about this http://stufs4u.wordpress.com/2014/02/25/install-and-configure-vnc-server-in… ? It is confusing, because something is bizare. And I cannot remember what I did last time. I have been through all my messages. But I do not understand!

Back in February, the configuration you were working with had a firewall/router between two systems over which you had not control. Yes, Thank to mind me. In the mean time, the machine has been updated. So the definitive conclusion is that I will never be able the access to this machine because of the firewall? Can I just use the ssh? By the way, I can sak that they opne the service for me. They will probably do it if I aks exactly what I need. In addition, what if I go through a VPN? In the past I set up a VPN, with the right instruction from the university. But at this University, I not sure!!! =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)gmx.com Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.
