Hi,
I have a SLES linux server (11.1) where the "who" output is like this :
userlogon pts/12 2012-06-01 14:55 (my.domain.com)
I have another SLES linux server (also 11.1) where the who output is like this :
userlogon pts/11 2012-06-01 13:52 (10.1.1.1)
Where can I configure that always the FDQN is shown?
(I tried with option --lookup but this doesn't help, still the IP address is shown)
regards,
Review the dns config in /etc/resolv.conf of that second maschine,
and check, if there is the same nameserver as in the first machine and that the nameserver is reachable.
Hi,
I have checked this. files on both machines are the same. DNS resolution works fine. (nslookup)
problem is still there.
I didn't think nslookup worked in linux. I have never used the "who" command so I am not sure of the purpose. Is it suppose to show the FQDN of the local machine where the command is entered.
Does the name server have a host record and a pointer for the client. have you tried the dig <hostname> and dig -x <ipaddress>. Make sure cache is flushed (the only way I know of doing this is the re-start machines)
:cool:
