[Solved] Set domain name on systemd system

Since the demise of rc.conf I have been unable to find out how to set the system's domain name. I tried "hostnamectl set-hostname hostname.domain" but it just set the hostname to "hostnamedomain". I also tried setting it manually through the hostname utility but it broke GUI applications (could not connect to display error). No luck with google or tge wiki either. Any ideas?

First of all, see "man archlinux" for how to set the hostname.
Second, is Bash treating the period as a special character? Try "hostnamectl set-hostname hostname\.domain".
Thirdly, my hostname is just set to "archsystem". Are you thinking of what goes in "/etc/hosts"?
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost archsystem
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost
# End of file

How to get the domain name from the System

I need to get the domain name from the system in JDK 1.1.8
Any Ideas?

InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName() will get you the name of the computer the code is executed on. If that isn't the "domain name" then perhaps you could give more detail about what "domain" you are trying to find the name of.

Setting domain name

Hi all,
Can I use my server to set up the internal domain name? I want to fix it to be something else than local and distribute it over the internal network.
Thanks,
Ziv
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

What you're needing is quite simple. I've boiled down the procedure into the following recipe. You may find my other posts useful: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=236181, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=661415, and http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1221660
1. Go ahead and configure the DNS service on your server. Create a zone with a suffix like mycompany.private and give the nameserver a machine name, defining your server's fully-qualified name. Remember your nameserver is the server itself, so you should end up with a fully-qualified server name like myserver.mycompany.private.
With DNS configured, you've only defined a name that matches your server's IP address.
2. Tell your server to use itself as a nameserver. In the Network pane of System Preferences, add the server's primary IP address to the top of its name server list, or make the change remotely with networksetup.
You'll also need to tell each of your clients to use the server as a nameserver for local DNS. You can manually add the server to the client's nameserver list in the Network pane of System preferences, or you can add it to your router's list of nameservers that it passes on to clients via DHCP.
On the server and one a test client, use lookupd -d to test local DNS resolution:
a. Verify address to name resolution:
lookupd -d then
>hostWithInternetAddress: <server's IP> and press return
Look for the server's DNS name after name
b. Verify name to address resolutioin:
lookupd -d then
>hostWithName: <server's DNS name> and press return
Look for the server's primary IP after ip_address
3. Check the server's hostname. If you have UNIX experience, this may seem a bit strange, but Apple differentiates between what it calls a local host name and the hostname. With a fresh installation of Mac OS X Server, /etc/hostconfig contains the line HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC-, which means that the hostname is determined by the first item that's true in this list:
First try: The hostname is set to the DHCP client ID if the server's primary IP was configured in this way.
Second try: The hostname is set to the name returned by reverse lookup of the server's primary IP address, if you have an existing nameserver.
Third try: The hostname is set to the local host name, which is the mDNS (Bonjour) name. This is the name that ends with .local
Final try: The hostname is set to the string "localhost".
Since you're using your server as a DNS name server (config steps 1 & 2), neither the first or second try will return a hostname; and, since the mDNS process is always running, the hostname will be defined as the local host name provided by Bonjour. This explains why you're getting the same "dot local" name even after configuring DNS.
For this reason, you need to manually define the hostname.
First, edit the /etc/hostconfig file and replace HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- with HOSTNAME=<qualified name from step 1>. For example, replace HOSTNAME=-AUTOMATIC- with HOSTNAME=myserver.company.private.
Next, issue sudo hostname <qualified name> to update the hostname cache. Now you're in business with a real hostname.
Note that you still have a local host name (mDNS/Bonjour name). That's still going to exist even though you have a fully-qualifed hostname defined by the server's DNS service and the hostconfig entry. The name you edit in the Overview section of Server Admin or the Sharing pane of System Preferences is, unfortunately, just that local host name; in short, there's no GUI to edit the hostname.
5. Now you're ready to configure Kerberos and other services that depend on a "real" hostname provided by DNS. Please see my post: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1221660
Hope this helps.

WLST setting domain name and ListenAddress attribute

using weblogic 9.2
just getting started with WLST and ran into two issues:
1) want to state the ListenAddress for both the adminserver and application servers with the script below:
cd('Servers/AdminServer')
set('Name', 'adminserver')
set('ListenAddress', 'localhost')
set('ListenPort', 7001)
cd('/')
create('appserver1', 'Server')
cd('Server/appserver1')
set('ListenAddress', 'localhost')
set('ListenPort', 7003)
....however get the error "Property Listen address of Server appserver1 is invalid. The server has the same combination of listen address and (default) port as other server" which clearly isn't the case since the ports listed above are different.
2) second issue is more of a complaint that the domain name is automatically derived from the domain directed in the writeDomain command. want to specify another domain name. is this possible?
thanks / matthew

Ok update changing the hostname in the field does NOT allow me to edit the .local part. In fact it converts Steve.mydomain.net.local to Steve-mydomain-net.local.
But I got my windows workgroup changed and I am showing up with the correct workgroup name from my other servers.
Also, lets say you only have a couple of computers on your home network right? So dedicated dns is kind of overkill especially when most of them are laptops rebooting all the time.
Well, your mac os x box has a hosts file. /etc/hosts as in if you want to edit sudo vi /etc/hosts. So you keep the computers pretty much in sync from those files.
I was afraid the information would not be persistent across a reboot. It was.
So, two out of three ain't bad. I read in the server forum its a pain in the ***. I was almost thinking of doing the hostconfig trick but I saw an Apple bulletin saying do NOT do that.

WRT1900AC - WPA2 on Guest Network and Setting Domain Name

I'm configuring a new WRT1900AC (version 1) and have a couple of questions. The first should be easy, on the Connectivity -> Internet Settings page on the right side under the heading Optional the Domain Name (provided via the DHCP server, Comcast in this case) is displayed, but I cannot change it. How do I set the Domain Name to reflect my local domain? The second question is a bit more daunting. I have two main wifi segments (one each on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz) that are each secured by WPA2. They work great so far. I also have two Guest wifi segments (one each on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz), I cannot figure out how to secure these with WPA2. You can set a passwword for each of the Guest wifi segments, and instruct users to open a web browser after connecting and enter this password, but that's not a secure connection. Please tell me there is a way to secure the Guest network via WPA2, nobody wants to use an insecure internet connection in this day and age...... -MC

That's exactly why you want the connection encrypted, so EVERYTHING you send is encrypted and not sniffable. The intended use of this Guest network is for renters at a condo resort, who will likely be doing banking and the like while on vacation. If we only provide an open/unencrypted network for them they can't (or at least shouldn't) use it. I have a Netgear R7500 in place right now, it doesn't have any of these problems (e.g. you can specify the domain name even on with a dynamic WAN IP, and all 4 network segments are WPA2 encrypted). Unfortunately, it's totally unreliable - the 4 network segments randomely disappear and stop working all the time, and the signal range is poor. I "downgraded" to this 1900AC because this router has a better reputation for stability and range (and indeed, I've been testing it for several days now and stability and range seem to be its strong points, not a single problem so far), but these firmware decisions by Linksys are forcing me to reconsider this router. -MC

Hey,
whenever I start Arch I get the message 'Arch Linux x.x.x-x-Arch ((none)) (ttyx). Thus, logging in I get username@(none).
How do I get rid of the (none)? Isn't that suppose to be my computer name? If so, how do I rename my computer?
Sorry for bugging with newbie questions, but can't seem to find a useful answer, probably due to me not understanding where the problem lies.

How to set domain name to a site that was developed using netbeans

I developed a website using netbeans.I want to give some DNS like site1.com to it.Where can i set that ?
Thanks in advance

1) You post questions in the wrong forum. (As you title says this is a Swing question).
2) Not once in your last 10 postings have you ever bothered to reply to a posting to thank people for the help you have received.
I seriously doubt you well ever get answers in the future.

[SOLVED] multiple host names and domains configuration

Hi everybody,
probably this is a less than newbie questions but I can't figure out what is the right way to set my hosts files within this framework:
1) Two registred domains pointing to my ip address: www.bonfus.it, argo.mooo.com
2) nslookup of wan ip address:
nslookup 79.41.201.100
Server: 192.168.2.1
Address: 192.168.2.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
100.201.41.79.in-addr.arpa name = host100-201-dynamic.41-79-r.retail.telecomitalia.it.
3) DDWrt (192.168.2.1) natting traffic to local network and web server
4) Server PC with services (192.168.2.100)
My problem is: how should I set domain name within DDWRT router configuration and on the server PC? Is this configuration correct for the pc?
/etc/hosts/
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost argo
192.168.2.100 argo.mooo.com argo
192.168.2.100 www.bonfus.it www
/etc/rc.conf
HOSTNAME="argo"
Thanks,
Pietro

Any domains that are local should point to the local IP in /etc/hosts. You should just need one line.
Something like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost argo argo.mooo.com www.bonfus.it
You don't have to put them all in there. For example, you'd only want to add 'www' if you want the www host to resolv to 127.0.0.1. I doubt you'd ever see the host www used by itself. Usually having just the short and long server hostname is enough (argo and argo.mooo.com).
I think you should have the long hostname in your /etc/rc.conf:
HOSTNAME="argo.mooo.com"

Need to the domain name and computer name in offline mode

Hi,
I can not able to login to the windows system, the password i am using is correct. But im getting error "the login method using is incorrect, please contact network admin". I forgot the domain name i set to login to the system. Now Currently i
dont have the recovery/windows7 disks. I have Unix in my machine as well. so i have mounted the windows7 parition in linux, and trying to find out the computer\domain name. so please suggest which file i need to search to get the details.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
If you want to know more information about domain name, please take a look at the following article.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731265(v=ws.10).aspx
Based on my research, the computer name and domain name are stored in the registry key.
We could find computer name in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName.
And we can find domain name in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Domain.
Have you ever joined a domain?
If yes, please contact the network admin as mentioned.
And we can type Domain name\Username and then password to login.
If you haven’t, we could try to type Computer name\username(.\username) and then the password to login the computer.
Best regards,

I have performed Meeting Place Express configuration through the “net” command.
But now unfortunately I can't connect to meeting place through web browser. I just get blank page.

Using a domain name email address with BT broadban...

We've just moved over to BT broadband after 17 years with Demon. I have three email addresses - [email protected] and name at mydomainname.co.uk etc - which I have now pointed to my new btinternet.com address, but after three days of chasing my own tail none of my email is arriving in my BT mailbox.
Our domain names are hosted by Freeparking. We don't have mailboxes there. The mail has previously been forwarded to our Demon account successfully - different domain names frowarding to different underlying demon addresses.
Freeparking indicates that it takes about ten minutes to propagate the forwarding change, so after three days i think I can say that I've given it every opportunity. I don't think the problem is with Freeparking's forwarding. I think it's with BT.
Now, the thing is, besides my three addresses which are not forwarding successfully, there's another domain name address (belonging to my husband) which IS forwarding successfully from Freeparking to BT, but this just happens to be the address we gave to BT as a contact email prior to the changeover from Demon.
My husband thinks this all may be something to do with grey-listing and that the reason the three domain names are not being accepted at BT is something to do with the fact that the addresses have not been verified as legitimate. Unfortunately it seems that the only way they can be verified as a legitimate address is by receiving and returning a verification mail from BT. Which is where our circular logic finally disappears up its own tail-feathers. We can't receive and respond because BT is not accepting the forwarded mail and we have no other method of accessing it.
Help, please.
It looks like we are losing all mail currently sent to those addresses - some of which may be significant business mail that we can't afford to lose.
I really don't want to have to change all my various email addresses (one personal, one business and one hobby-related) to the new BT one. I have 2400 names in my address book. Changing addresses would just add to the nightmare.
I feel particularly p155ed off because one of the questions I asked before moving to BT was whether BT accepted domain name addresses forwarded from Freeparking and was told that it wlouldn't be a problem.
Just as amatter of note, I did call the BT help centre and was told that since my main BT address was working (i.e. receiving and sending direct emails) they had neither the obligation nor the training to solve the domain name problem. Well done BT.
Solved!

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Address verification is not actually needed with respect to forwarding of emails.
Do you have another email address (e.g. hotmail, gmail etc) that you can forward one of the email addresses to ? This can help check it's workiing, despite the other domain working ok.
Forgive me for asking, but can you check that the email you're forwarding to is correctly spelt with numbers, periods etc in the right place - it is easy to make a mistake!
Have you checked the Spam folder in webmail in case all the emails have ended up there ?

Finding IP and fully qualified domain name.

Okay i have a java program taht runs on ubuntu the latest version. I got java 6.0 using apt-get install. oKay now i wrote a server socket program. But what it also should do is get the fully qualified domain name of the system and its ip address. So now my system is called "tools.myproject.com" okay. I dont have system registered under a domain or somethign but i specify it in my /etc/hosts file. since linux also uses the /etc/hosts file to resolve domain names. Now is there anyway in java that i can get this name. If not that then is there a way i can get the ip of this machine, which is not the loop back address. When i do the InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostaddress() method or whatever thats there in the documentation i get the loop back address thats specified thats 127.0.0.1 and the canonicalname for taht is some rubbish that i dont need. So can anyone help me out.
Also i found some NetworkInterface class from which i can get the IP Address of the machine. Also the Canonical Name i get from the IpAddress does it look at the /etc/hosts file or the DNS server?
Thanks!
Edited by: mynameissriharsha on Jul 14, 2008 2:42 PM

Try this
InetAddress[] inet = InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress());
for (int x = 0; x < inet.length; x++)
System.out.println
("IP " + (x + 1) + ": " + inet[x].toString().substring(1));
}
