Hi, Welcome to LQ!

LQ has a fantastic search function that may save you time waiting for an answer to a popular question.

With over 3 million posts to search it's possible the answer has been given. :)

you may be able to set hostnames in various ways, I am by no means a network engineer, but I have found...

editing the /etc/hosts text file, see 'man hosts' for the man page (may require root priv, use su or sudo),

the file it'self my contain some config help.

host.allow and host.deny work with this file.

Another way is to name the kernel build for each machine with the kernel name modified to reflect the host machine/system.

first few lines of /usr/src/linux/Makefile

Code:

VERSION = 2

PATCHLEVEL = 6

SUBLEVEL = 32

EXTRAVERSION = .3-2mnbGamesBox

NAME = GamesBox.GlennsPref.net

uname -a

Code:

Linux GamesBox.GlennsPref.net 2.6.32.3-2mnbGamesBox #4 SMP 

Sat May 8 12:55:56 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Another more direct way is to use the /network-settings/ip-settings/ "search domain" to your desired hostname.

like,
MusicBox.GlennsPref.net
GamesBox.GlennsPref.net
GateBox.GlennsPref.net

I do this on my machines, and always know which machine I am talking to.

a site I have found useful...
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/

hope this helps, Glenn

/etc/hosts.allow

Code:

#

# hosts.allow        This file describes the names of the hosts which are

#                allowed to use the local INET services, as decided

#                by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

#

192.168.0.2        GamesBox.GlennsPref.net GamesBox

127.0.0.1        GamesBox.GlennsPref.net GamesBox Localhost

192.168.1.0        tp-link computer

ALL:        GamesBox.GlennsPref.net

ALL:        localhost

ALL:        GlennsPref.net

/etc/hosts.deny

Code:

#

# hosts.deny        This file describes the names of the hosts which are

#                *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided

#                by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server.

#

# The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that

# the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow.  In particular

# you should know that NFS uses portmap!

ALL:        ALL

That's all I know about it.

Regards Glenn

Dear Glenn
Thanks for reply. But you are not getting me clearly. i would get the tool or trick to simulate the machine for ADS domain controller as new domain. means ADS seems it like another host & user.and make session entry for different hostname & user.

You're right, I missed the point, sorry.

hi glenn have u find any solution ? if it is please guide me. it will be to much help full to me.

No!

I suggest look up masquerade, but I'm not sure this is what you mean.

"Masquerading ip addresses with squid and iptables."
