Re: From where does OpenMOSIX read the IP settings

Hello,


  IIRC the scripts take the machine's hostname (as in 
"/bin/hostname" or "/bin/uname -n", or the nearest /proc 
equivalent) and look that up (gethostbyname()) to find 
the IP .. thus /etc/hosts is normal.

  Note though, that if your hostname is "localhost", 
resolving to 127.0.0.1 is a good thing.  You may either 
need to tweak your DHCP server config (to send out a 
host name via "option host-name"), or tweak the client 
or client helper scripts.

  Under CHAOS we wrote the /etc/hosts file dynamically -
after the IP address was acquired we'd create a host 
name based on the hex of IP address itself - and before 
enabling the in-kernel openMosix software, to ensure 
that this sort of conflict wouldn't occur.


Hope that helps,
