Gaylen Wong LQ Newbie Registered: Jun 2006 Posts: 1 Rep:	Problem using Openldap for host name resolution I have installed an Openldap Server on a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4.0. The client machines are running the same operating system. The LDAP server machine is also an LDAP client. The LDAP server successfully provides user, password and group info for all the client applications/services that need the info, i. e. gnome login, sshd, vftpd, etc. I have also added host name/IP address info to the LDAP database. However I have noticed that some programs use it( sshd, getent, telnet ) while others don't ( ping, ftp, mount (when trying to mount file systems from a remote host)). When the appropriate host entries are placed in /etc/hosts, no problem. What gives. Is it that not all applications are "LDAP aware"?
