Hi Simon,
grep for "hostname" gives this:
[root@xxxxxxxxx root]# grep hostname /etc/init.d/*
/etc/init.d/cups: # Check, if we have a real network, if not,
let the hostname be
/etc/init.d/cups: #/bin/hostname localhost
/etc/init.d/cups: # to avoid printer info with hostname
"localhost" being
I tried a grep for "localhost" as well and got:
/etc/init.d/cups: # "localhost"
/etc/init.d/cups: #/bin/hostname localhost
/etc/init.d/cups: # Is there a correct "localhost" line?
/etc/init.d/cups: #if !(/bin/egrep
"^127\.0\.0\.1[[:space:]]+localhost\.localdomain[[:space:]]+localhost"
/etc /hosts > /dev/null 2>&1); then
/etc/init.d/cups: # gprintf "Correcting 'localhost' line in
/etc/hosts ...\n";
/etc/init.d/cups: # # Correct "localhost" line with wrong
IP
/etc/init.d/cups: # perl -p -i -e
"s/^\s*[\d\.]+\s+.*localhost.*$/127.0.0.1\t\tlocalhost.localdomain\tlocal
host/" /etc/hosts
/etc/init.d/cups: # perl -p -i -e
"s/^\s*127.0.0.1\s+.*$/127.0.0.1\t\tlocalhost.localdomain\tlocalhost/"
/e tc/hosts
/etc/init.d/cups: # # Add "localhost" line if missing
/etc/init.d/cups: # echo -en
"127.0.0.1\t\tlocalhost.localdomain\tlocalhost\n" >> /etc/hosts
/etc/init.d/cups: # to avoid printer info with hostname
"localhost" being
/etc/init.d/httpd:STATUSURL="http://localhost/server-status";
/etc/init.d/httpd:STATUSURLPERL="http://localhost:8200/server-status";
/etc/init.d/nfs: /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 2
&>/dev/null
/etc/init.d/nfs: /usr/sbin/rpcinfo -u localhost nfs 3
&>/dev/null
I don't know if any of that helps at all.
Also a friend of mine suggested adding the right hostname to /etc/hostname
(although that file was not on my system). Do you know what the syntax ought
to be?
Kind regards,
Julian

If you (or | anyone) could tell me which file that is I would be very grateful. Usually "hostname" is the command to set hostname.

Why would that be? "RPC: program not registered" is produced when a program tries to use an ONC RPC call when the server component isn't ready. In this case probably the NFS server isn't running (or complete) and so the client is failing, as all NFS code is done using ONC RPC it is hard to say more without details. The "rpcinfo" command will tell you what programs are registered on a specific server. i.e. $ rpcinfo -p localhost ~ program vers proto port ~ 100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper ~ 100000 2 udp 111 portmapper ~ 100024 1 udp 718 status ~ 100024 1 tcp 721 status You would expect to see rather more programs if NFS is configured - statd, mountd etc. But I thought most NFS's default to witing for the server to start - or waiting a bit - it is usually configurable. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Debian - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAzhQFGFXfHI9FVgYRAvzMAJ0c8dgGr2UuS2YQv541kg/6mPZgnwCgimsx R1fD/277Pp1cwYxu4WP4Pnw= =V6OX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
