<title>Setting up Basic Networking</title>

<?dbhtml filename="basic-net.html" dir="chapter06"?>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>Here will be set up basic networking now that all the necessary
|
||
|
|
software has been installed. There isn't all that much to do, really,
|
||
|
|
just creating a basic /etc/hosts file, and downloading some very
|
||
|
|
high-quality network information files.</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>The first step is to create /etc/hosts. This file contains
|
||
|
|
information allowing resolution of hostnames to IP addresses. Create a
|
||
|
|
very basic one (we'll make a better one later) with the following
|
||
|
|
command:</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>echo '127.0.0.1 localhost' > /etc/hosts</userinput></screen></para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para>Now unpack the Lfs-Utils tarball again, as we're going to copy two
|
||
|
|
necessary files from it. One is the /etc/services file, which is used to
|
||
|
|
resolv service numbers to human-readable names, and the /etc/protocols
|
||
|
|
file, which does the same for protocol numbers. Copy them with the
|
||
|
|
following command after you have entered the Lfs-Utils directory:</para>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>cp -f etc/{services,protocols} /etc</userinput></screen></para>
|
||
|
