Please tell me (in layman's terms) just what is a fully qualified domain name is exactly?
When I type
Code:
hostname -f
I get localhost in return.
It's the when I type
Code:
hostname
and I get the feeling that it should be somehow different.
I know this sounds dumb, but I'm very new to all this. I haven't used a computer since 1995 and I was just learning how to use one then. So please be nice?
host.domainName.topLevelDomain
example: mybox.mydomain.com
Okaaay. -----And please forgive my dumbness, because I haven't used a computer since 1995, and don't know what I'm doing. But I am trying to learn.---- So why does apache2 say it can't determine my domain name?
Sometimes it says cannot determine fully qualified domain name, the others it says cannot determine domain name via ::1 which I believe is IP v 6, other than I don't think my OV supports IP v 6.
what is written in /etc/hostname? That should be your hostname (the thing before the first dot in your FQDN (Full Qualified Domain Name)) and should be identical with the output of
# hostname
# hostname -f
gives you the full hostname. In order to have a hostname that represents a FQDN the hostname should consist of the hostname itself (let's call it donna) and a top level domain.
A top level domain is a standard domain name without subdomain, like example.com.
Now the FQDN would be
donna.example.com
As long as hostname -f doesn't give you something like that apache will always complain and use 127.0.0.1 as hostname.
Depending on your distribution you might have to do some more than setting the hostname in some file, but google should find plenty of examples via "how to set domain name {distribution_name}"
/etc/hostname = NEWJUNK
That is what is written in my /etc/hostname file
Code:
NEWJUNK

Hello,
This might be a silly question, but it drives me crazy! I would like to sync my HTC HD2 (1.66.479.2 WWE) with Live (Hotmail) account. I go to ActiveSync > Add Server Source > type in my mail + Next > Type in my user, password and... domain. All instructions say that domain should be left blank, but HD2 does not allow me to leave it blank! If it's empty then next button is disabled and I cannot go further.
Is there any remedy for this?
Regards
You can only leave the domain blank if your username already contains it. For example, on google, you should specify the username as "[email protected]", not just "user". Hope this helps.

Nope, does not work. As an address I put there "[email protected]" and still the domain field is required to proceed.
I would say just put "hotmail.com" in the domain and thats it, although it actually does sound strange.
Does not help either :/
Got it!
In the second screen you must type the user with @hotmail. I think you mentioned that, but I didn't get your point.
That's exactly what i've mentioned on my very first post in this thread, lol.
Hi all,
is it possible to run an internal DNS server on Android? I am looking for a solution similar to bind9 on Linux (e.g., h**p://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=236093) that allows to define DNS zones, i.e., all DNS requests are first of all redirected to 127.0.0.1 and then forwarded based on the predefined DNS zones.
Unfortunately, I didn't find aything about this, so I was wondering if it's possible at all in Android?
Thanks,
Chris
Not sure if this is possible, but here it goes;
My work server address is an IP followed by a port number. Example, 123.123.123.123:1234. The samsung email set up does not allow the port extension. It will only except the 123.123.123.123. As soon as I enter the ":", the botton to continue grays out. Is it possible to create a mod that would allow for the additional characters in my server address? This would be worth at least a case of beer.
Thanks.
Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding these Ad Blocking programs. I see that they primarily work by adding entries in the Hosts file for IP resolution (usually the loopback address 127.0.0.1) for known Ad addresses. So my question is this... Is it possible for hackers to produce a fake (or partially legit) product that could be used for Phishing? They could inject IP addresses for banking, ecommerce, etc., websites to be directed to their fake sites.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

You mean do something like redirect Wells Fargo to a copycat site to phish usernames, passwords, CC#'s etc? It's certainly possible. It'd be a pretty limited audience hack though. You'd still probably do better just sending a mass email.
I spoke with the author of Adfree and his program implements checks on the downloaded host files to ensure they only point to 127.0.0.1 unless specified in the options.

Yeah... I thought that the easy way to rest assured was to go through the hosts files to be sure all the entries point to the loopback address...
Thanks!!
Hi,
I use the native Private DNS (DoT, DNS-over-TLS) on Android 9 for a while with my company DNS server. Private DNS (DoT or DoH) have no authentication option and the admins are running amok because the unwanted traffic from anywhere. The DNS should be the only DNS source for the devices outside the company and not a free service. DoT and DoH are faced by nginx for TLS termination and capable to make client certificate authentication (is now active on DoH). So the question:
Can I (and when - how) assign a client certificate to the native DoT client on android 9 (or following)?
Thanks
