2.7.2 Other Available Services
Many other network modules are available in YaST Network Services.
DHCP Server
Use this to set up a custom DHCP server in only a few steps. Chapter DHCP
(↑Reference) provides basic knowledge about the subject and a step-by-step description
of the configuration process.
DNS Server
Configuring a DNS server that is responsible for name resolution is recommended
for larger networks. You can use DNS Server for this as described in Section “Configuration
with YaST” (Chapter 20, The Domain Name System, ↑Reference).
Chapter The Domain Name System (↑Reference) provides background information
about DNS.
DNS and Hostname
Use this module to configure the hostname and DNS if these settings were not already
made while configuring the network devices. Also use it to change the hostname
and domain name. If the provider has been configured correctly for DSL,
modem, or ISDN access, the list of name servers contains the entries that were extracted
automatically from the provider data. If you are located in a local network,
you might receive your hostname via DHCP, in which case you should not modify
the name.
HTTP Server
To run your own Web server, configure Apache in HTTP Server. Find more information
in Chapter The Apache HTTP Server (↑Reference).
Hostnames
When booting and in small networks, you can use Hostnames for hostname resolution
instead of DNS. The entries in this module reflect the data of the file /etc/
hosts. For more information, read Section “ /etc/hosts ” (Chapter 18, Basic
Networking, ↑Reference).
Kerberos Client
If you have a Kerberos server in your network for network authentication, use
Kerberos Client.
