Hi Team,

I have a server , hostname is Demo .

It is pinging to demo.local with local ip address. I have not set anything in /etc/hosts file

Any idea , how to stop it .

cat /etc/hosts


127.0.0.1 localhost demo
#127.0.0.1 demo
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

cat /etc/hostname

demo

#hostname

demo


Please help me to sort out this issue.

Hi,
Try examine the process that uses Ping:

---$ ps -ejH

If it is not necessary to your system then kill it.
But you have to see to it that there is no illegitimate cause of the unwanted Pings.

Hope that helps.
m.m.

Hi malekmustaq,

Thanks for quick reply. I tried with the command suggested

#ps -ejH |grep ping

No output .I thinks no process attached with ping .

Any more suggestion will be highly helpful .Thanks

Try to issue the command while the unwanted Ping is running. As I understood from the post it is continuously running, am I right?

Yes, it is a production PC .If I am not able to resolve this issue , I need to reformat the pc .

1.)Cron running

I am able to fix the problem by deleting a line containing string in /etc/nsswitch.conf file .

The string is "mdns4_minimal" .
