Hi there,

Here is the situation, I have a server with two NIC's with two hostnames on them

hostname IP NIC

dgrid2 | 141.12.12.141 | eth0
dgrid2-2 | 141.12.12.142 | eth1


the problem is that when I for example ssh into dgrid2-2 and then initiate
$hostname

i get

dgrid2-2

BUT when i ssh into dgrid2 (without any problems) and
$hostname

i get the same

dgrid2-2

I am not sure what other info/files you need in order to get the whole picture but I will provide them by request.
Any info or suggestion will be appreciated thanks in advance

Your system has only one REAL host name. Your NICs can have different VIRTUAL names for the host.

The "hostname" command always returns the REAL hostname so doesn't care how you got to the host (eth0, eth1, ppp0, console, dumb terminal, teleportation etc...)

Thanks a bunch,

btw sorry for the late reply
