I am trying to access the use SSH using host names instead of using the raw IP address. I am currently using DCHP to connect to an inexpensive Linksys router and I can see the host names and their IP address when I view the connections list.
If the machine name (ie CLYDE) is not the host name, please correct me.
Is there some way to extract this information? If so, how? Do I need to run bind to be able to use the host names in place of IP addresses?
Any help would be appreciated.
/etc/resolv.conf is the ips of your name servers. You want to add info to /etc/hosts basically add something like 192.168.0.100 my-ssh-server <other name for it if you want> -- Eric Martin Key fingerprint = D1C4 086E DBB5 C18E 6FDA B215 6A25 7174 A941 3B9F
I will look into using /etc/hosts. I can not use /etc/resolv.conf since it is overwritten by DHCP and I want it that way (for now). Thank you. On Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:43:11 -0700 (PDT), "Mike Leo" <mleo963@yahoo.com> said:
