similar to: hostname service?

On CentOS 7, I find in /var/log/messages several times daily messages "localhost systemd: Started Hostname Service.". However I can't seem to find such a service using the systemctl command. What is the "Hostname Service", what does it do and why is it being restarted frequently? Many thanks....Nick

We can permanently set hostname using hostnamectl set-hostname. How can we permanently set *domain name* in CentOS 7? I found an article <http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/239920/how-to-set-the-fully-qualified-hostname-on-centos-7-0> that recommended setting FQDN using hostnamectl. Is that the right way to set hostname and domainname at the same time using *hostnamectl set-hostname*

I find the passwd, shadow and group lines in my CentOS 7 /etc/nsswitch.conf file specify "files sss". I'm not familiar with the "sss" source, would someone please give me an idea what that is? Many thanks....Nick

Thanks! Up on kernel 3.10.0-229.7.2.el7.centos. Page http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel specifically states using rpm and not yum for the new kernel install, so perhaps needs that slight revision for 7......Nick G On Thu, Jul 9, 2015 at 5:05 PM, Nicholas Geovanis <nickgeovanis at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all - > First the boilerplate: > On centos-release.x86_64

I don't really understand the intent behind firewalld. The RHEL7 Security Guide states "A graphical configuration tool, *firewall-config*, is used to configure firewalld, which in turn uses *iptables tool* to communicate with *Netfilter* in the kernel which implements packet filtering". So is the goal for firewalld to implement a GUI for iptables? What is the "value added"

Greetings everyone. I have some CentOS 7 VMs running on the system for which I just made the inquiry about the kworker problem, and I was able to institute immediate change of hostname by updating the /etc/hostname file. I have network manager running on the host, as well, and it also has the name populated in this file. When I make the change in /etc/hostname, it takes immediate effect, and

Not sure about everyone else, but I always put my hostname in /etc/hosts. Maybe that's from years of not always having DNS available back when the earth was cooling.

I have a file /etc/sysconfig/network and in the file is cat /etc/sysconfig/network # Created by anaconda HOSTNAME=zotac_c7.msgnet.com [root at localhost ~]# I rebooted and the prompt is still localhost ? What is the new thing in CentOS 7 to set the host name such that then the prompt is correct also? Thanks Jerry

Hai Viktor,   Yes, i did keep that in mind that it was an upgrade, that exact why im responding. ;-)   If in the base  /etc/hostname, /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf or systemd  cointains wrong settings, you might inherit these. So it might be that a previous samba was accepting these settings, but a latest samba not. Or a previous systemd version accepted these and a newer not..  

Hi, Our local school has a 100 % Slackware Linux network with two servers and 14 desktop clients. The main server is running Dnsmasq, and he's providing static IP addresses to the desktop clients. Hostnames are also managed centrally. All client machines only have this in /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost And in /etc/HOSTNAME: localhost.localdomain The hostname

Does Centos 7 use /etc/sysconfig/network or is this replaced by some systemctl set of commands. For example I know to set my host name with: hostnamectl set-hostname nevia.htt-consult.com But I don't know if this is the same as cat <<EOF>/etc/sysconfig/network || exit 1 NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=nevia.htt-consult.com EOF

Hello, I found different ways to define the hostname ... this HOSTNAME="host.domain.tld" or this: HOSTNAME="host" DOMAIN="domain.tld" what is the correct way? Thanks, Walter
