- BK 15may03:
- /etc/resolv.conf
- This has your ISP's domain name servers (DNSs).
- Normally, these will be supplied automatically by
- the ISP and this file will be written to during
- the connection ...look at the script /etc/ppp/ip-up*
- 3Nov04: See note in /etc/ppp/README.txt.
- I have removed all default entries from /etc/resolv.conf,
- so it is now just an empty file -- suggestion is that
- Roaring Penguin pppoe needs this.
- /etc/nsswitch.conf
- A PPP HOWTO recommended this file be there, with the line:
- hosts: files dns
- in it. Note, the file in Red Hat has heaps more stuff.
- /etc/host.conf
- The PPP HOWTO states that this must have the line:
- order hosts,bind
- /etc/hosts
- This file has the lines:
- 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
- 0.0.0.0 puppypc
- where second line is name of the computer. I read somewhere
- that you could have:
- 0.0.0.0 localhost
- on the second line, instead of name of the computer.
- /etc/hostname
- This also has the name of the computer:
- puppypc
- That's all, just one word in the file.
- Note that /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit reads this file and executes
- "hostname" application, thus setting the system to this name.
- /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
- Stuff in here gets executed during startup.
- It calls rc.modules, which loads kernel driver modules.
- /etc/profile
- After Bash/Ash (command prompt) is running, this file is executed.
- It's just like "autoexec.bat" in MSDOS.
- NOTE:
- To troubleshoot your PPP dialup connection, refer to
- /usr/share/doc/pppsetup.htm
- also look in /etc/modules.conf and /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
