Sendmail and host file

How can I get sendmail to read etc/hosts when I boot our solaris machine?

Hi
The order of name lookups depends on what has been set in the file /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Usually the name lookup will first take place in /etc/hosts, then DNS
the entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf will look like this:
hosts: files dns
During the boot process, the hosts file is used to configure the basics of the host so that it
can get up and running on the network. Sendmail will start at run level 2 after any name service
is running, but will resolve itself with the local host file if the setup is as above.
If your post is regarding the "unable to qualify my own domain name - using short name"
message that gets posted to /var/adm/messages, you will need to put a fully qualified domain
name into the /etc/hosts file.

NAC Agent 4.5.2 and hosts files

Hi
since the PC are managed by NAC, some users met problems with the "host" file (file empty).
Does the NAC agent have any influence on this mechanism?
Is it possible to reload this file?
Thanks for your help

Murielle,
NAC wouldn't do anything to the hosts file on your client machines. There's something else at play here.
HTH,

Read this: iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
... oh I think it is a 3gs or a 3
This makes a difference. What does it say in Settings > General > About?

Can't update iOS 8 on my iPhone5 through iTunes on Windows 8 (error 3004, 3194). Updated host file, opened port 80, 443; turned off security system and firewall, etc. But nothing works. How to solve this problem?

Hi the_mad_movies,
It seems like this article will be the best option for addressing this issue:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

Video and audio files hosted on your site

It would be great to be able to host your own video and audio files and not have to rely on YouTube or Vimeo. Design a widget to for ease of use.

Yes, you can easily work with only audio or only video from a video clip in Premiere Elements.
How you do this depends on which version of the program you are using.

I want to restore my ipod 4g to ios 6.1.2 but it said error code 3194 i updated itunes and i checked my host file and it won't work Thank you for choosing the Apple Store. If you have any additional questions, please chat us again. You are currently not i

i want to restore my ipod 4g to ios 6.1.2 but it said error code 3194 i updated itunes and i checked my host file and it won't work and i am running 6.1.5 at the moment

That's because downgrading is not supported.

Error 3194:
This device isn't eligible for the requested build
It means that Apple has stopped signing the version of iOS that you have, try downloading the latest iOS version, then try Restore again.

SCCM and citrix servers - SCCM routing to localhost in hosts file

I have recently taken over administration of Citrix servers in our company.
I can't find the answer to this in my organisation, so I ask here:
What could be the reason for routing our SCCM server address to 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file? I noticed all of our Citrix servers have this in the hosts file. This is not default on other servers or client computers.
What I was thinking was perhaps it was a crude way of blocking access to the application catalog. But any ideas? Do anyone know when doing this is common practice?

ConfigMgr (or in this case the ConfigMgr client agent) doesn't use anything to resolve DNS names. It passes the names to the networking API which in turn use the Windows name resolution APIs. Name resolution is much more than nslookup which simply queries
a DNS server. Don't confuse the results of nslookup with anything a client will ever use for name resolution, it simply doesn't work that way and would be a bad thing if it did. Querying a DNS server is only part of name resolution and won't happen if the
name is found in the local name cache or the HOSTS file (by default although it is actually possible to change this behavior).
Peter's initial response is the only possibility here. And, just because the client is installed on the server doesn't mean it's reporting in correctly at all. As for SCEP definitions, there are multiple other sources for it to get definitions from which
is what is almost assuredly happening.
I generally concur with John, remove this "dirty" hack; however, you probably should find the Citrix guys as I'm sure they were the ones whining about something that resulted in the hack in the first place.

What is the real ip address to the apple server? Someone changed the host file in windows/system32/drivers/ect, and now I can't do a restore on my iPhone 3gs.

"You have to change your router's IP address to be able to access it. It will not give you the internet."
I'm not sure what that means Richard, but I did change the router's IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.1- isn't that what you meant in your first post. I know that isn't reflected in my screen capture that I took last night, but I did do that this morning after I read your post.
"Log on to your router and change two settings.
Change the setting in Setup from PPPoE to Automatic Configuration-DHCP and click on save.
Click on Advance Routing and change the setting from Gateway to Router then click on save."
I did this and still same results as far as I can tell. Can't get online through the router.
"Click on MAC address clone under setup tab ... click enable & click clone ...click save settings ... Check the IPaddress under WAN page ....
If getting IP in public range .... try going online ...."
I tried this- at least to the part about checking the IP address under WAN. I assume you mean the WAN page in the modem setup- nothing looked any different after trying what you suggested, and I'm not really sure where I would be "getting IP in public range" or what that means.
I'm about to give up and just buy a new router to see if I can get the same lack of results with a different one. My ISP maintains that everything is set up correctly on their end and really can't do anything more for me. The Modem works and is set up correctly and they can give tech support for a router.
Here's what my basic setup looks like now:

Is it possible to add a dozen or more host files to completly block Yahoo or MS Bing and keep it off the search engine.

I do not want Bing in my computer.
I get angry and uninstall the new firefox because i can not keep bing at bay. Every time I go back and install Firefox because I do not like Opera I have Microsoft's Bing invading my system as yahoo search or bing.
I want to know what are the host files I need to enter, so I can completely block this search engine virus that keeps invading my system.

For the record: Yahoo search is Microsoft Bing, with a different name.
Yahoo search was a great search engine in the past, that knowledge was given to Microsoft to improve Bing, and Yahoo signed an financial agreement with Microsoft to use Bing.
I can remove Bing, but it always returns in 6 hours, or in several days. It has the qualities of malware, in that it keeps reappearing. There is no method I can find of keeping Bing search off my system, other than to not install Firefox.

I cannot activate LR5 and find 2 hosts file in html. not sure how to proceed from now

i cannot activate lr5
Contacted help desk and found the info on the site but i ma supposed to copy the hosts file and remove reference to adobe activation. issue is that i see two host file but in html format. how am i supposed to do this? sorry, am not a techy.

What operating system are you on?
Win: - How can I reset the Hosts file back to the default?
Mac: - restore orginal host file | Apple Support Communities
Or get in contact with the support of the Operating system and ask them to guide on getting the Host file restored.
It is a System Related file, they should be able to assist you in restoring it to default.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch. If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

Update hosts file and Change proxy settings for all users on Mac

I am in a large environment with many Mac users. We have a Windows based proxy server that we are switching over within a few weeks. So far we are manually having to go to each Mac and change the proxy settings under the users account. This is a very long and painstaking process as users are on vacation etc. and our cutoff date is fast approaching for the old proxy.
we also are having to log into each workstation as administrator go into the terminal and so sudo passwd root then change the password then do sudo vi /etc/hosts to edit the hosts file.
Is there a way to change the proxy server setting for safari and firefox globally without having to log in as each user on the Mac ?
Or is there an automated way through a script that the users can run ?
These macs authenticate to active directory. They do not have a mac server but I was told to post this question here versus the desktop area.

Most browsers include an [automatic proxy configuration (PAC) mechanism|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_auto-config] and the transparent configuration of proxies, and Safari and Firefox are no different here.
The usual approach here is to have folks visit a site and select the PAC file, or to push the file out. Here is a comfiguration example from [UConn|http://helpdesk.uconn.edu/trouble/proxy/autoprox.html], and another from [Rice|http://proxy.rice.edu/setup.php], and there are others around and visible via Google.
The [pactester|http://code.google.com/p/pactester> tool might be useful, too.
If y'all get some DNS entries set up (various web browsers have [Web Proxy Auto Discovery (WPAD)|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebProxy_AutodiscoveryProtocol], when last I checked [Safari needed a little help|http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090711031033128]) and have your firewall raise an appropriate diagnostic page, you won't have to go through this again, either.
None of this stuff is particularly specific to Mac OS X or to Safari; the PAC stuff is fairly generic, and WPAD is used with various boxes. (Try Safari with WPAD, but you might still need to reference that PAC file. And if you do, using WPAD-compliant naming would probably be a reasonable approach.)
The hosts files? You're really still using those? Any chance you can get real DNS working? That's a whole lot less work, and now is the time to deploy that; if you're going to mess with everything, then you can use that effort and that requirement to (also) move forward in your networking capabilities.

Exchange 2013 mailflow and the Hosts file

Hello!
Recently I expirienced the issue with missing messages ( http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/20745ec5-e311-4bc0-b1bd-aff3f7c82fd1/missing-messages?forum=exchangesvradmin ) and although that thread is not answered yet I would like
to clarify the following:
1) Exchange Server is working properly for day1 and day2
2) Day3: Sent messages begin to disappear
Resolution: I add my Exchange Server to the hosts file (on the Exchange Server machine), restarted the server and the mailflow was restored.
192.168.1.2 Mail
192.168.1.2 Mail.Test.Local
Test: Right after deleting Exchange Server records from Hosts and restarting the server the mailflow gets disrupted again.
Q1: Is it a bug?
Q2: If it's a bug why my Exchange has been working fine for day1 and day2?
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Hello all!
Here's my post that describes the issue:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/20745ec5-e311-4bc0-b1bd-aff3f7c82fd1/missing-messages?forum=exchangesvradmin
There're two servers (VMs): Domain Controller and Exchange 2013. As I have no internet connection in my test environment only internal mail go missing.
Regarding Hosts file: as those post is still not answered I just did what MS support recomended for resolving Exchange 2013 DNS issue (there're a lot of posts regarding it here on technet) and it helped...
But it's nonsense - my DNS is up and running, it was running on Day1, Day2 and Exchange could use it successully, but starting with the Day3 Exchange Server can't use the same DNS server? Why???
Regards,
Michael
