[wplug] Which Red Hat version is best?

[John Harrold]

Sometime in April Sal Mangiapane assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Thanks for all the help.
| 
| I am going through the process of setting up2date and I'm getting an error.  I think that my box can't find the DNS server.
| 
| The error is occurring when I exit rhn_register screen and here is what I get:
| 
| netdict['ipaddr'] = gethostbyname(gethostname())
| socket.error: host not found
| 
| My DNS server is also my firewall which is also my gateway and is at address 192.168.1.1
| 
| How do I check/set the DNS for my Linux box?
| 
| thanks and God bless,
| 
| sal


the dns servers are specified in the file /etc/resolv.conf. they are
specified one per line. mine looks like:

nameserver 151.201.0.39
nameserver 151.201.0.38

 "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of
  the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to
  drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship,
  or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the
  people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is
  easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and
  denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country
  to greater danger."
