Using Kubuntu 7.10.

How do I make a domain name? I tried it under Network Settings but it
did not survive reboot.

I am assuming that this question could be reworded as: "how do I set my
default domain".

If so:

vi /etc/resolv.conf

and add the line:

domain mydomain.com

to the end of the file.

Not if the "resolvconf" package is installed, I don't think. I had a
problem like that, and it was down to the "resolvconf" package. My
Linux server is in the process of being rebuilt (hardware issues), but
the old advice is sometimes no longer applicable.

Sorry but didn't work. My resolv.conf says it was created by
networkmanager and do not edit. I did it anyway as a test and on the
next reboot, it was gone. Looks like networkmanager rewrites the file
every time it comes up.

If you are using DHCP then the DHCP server is likely resetting the
resolv.conf file each time you reboot. DHCP wants to setup your name
servers and default domain. If the DHCP server does not establish a
default domain then you won't have one.

This begs another question. What are you trying to accomplish? What
would work differently than it does now, if you had it working? Maybe
there are other solutions.

I'm using DHCP but I don't think it is doing the resetting. The
following is my resolv.conf:
-----------------------------------
# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!



nameserver 192.168.0.1
-----------------------------------

Looks like networkmanager does it.

Sorry, I forgot to answer your last question. I have a home network
going and I like to be able to ssh from one computer to another and it
seems at least one of the other computers wants to see a domainname.

DHCP and NetworkManager work together.

I have a similar setup at home. I set my router to always assign the
same address to each machine, based on MAC address. I then add each of
my machines to /etc/hosts. I can then refer to any of my machines by an
unqualified name.

You've effectively assigned internal static IP addresses, and removed
the need for internal DNS. If so, then why not have just used static
IPs in the first place? :-)

Sorry I came into this late... I might be completely off about this, but I'm
wondering if the OP was talking about the hostname? If so, you can
edit /etc/hostname as root with your favorite text editor and change the one
line that's in it to whatever you want, as long as it contains no spaces and
up to one period.

Of course, I could be totally off. It was hot today and I might not be
thinking straight.
