Want to see computer names in squid log file

Hi all

I want to see computer names, such as MYpc, Server1, in squid's access.log file instead of IP addresses.

How can I do?

I also have a problem. I cannot start dhcpd service. It's failed. I've made required configurations by modification of sample conf file.

I used redhat enterprise 5 and dhcpd 3.x.

help me.

thanks.

I am not too sure about this but you can give this a shot, you either need to have a local DNS resolving DNS names/hostnames etc or you need to add the Machine IP addresses and their corresponding names in /etc/hosts of the Squid Machine.

So for example, if the Squid server is 192.168.1.2 and a client machine is 192.168.1.4 then in /etc/hosts of 192.168.1.2,

192.168.1.4 machine1

where machine1 is the hostname/name associated with 192.168.1.4

As for your DHCP problem, can you post the output of the following commands,

Quote:

/etc/init.d/dhcpd restart ; tail -f /var/log/messages

DHCP problem is solved. I found that I need to set ddns-update-style option before dhcpd start. I found in /var/log/messages file.

So thanks for ur help
