Configuring a DNS server to query itself

EPKPhoto — 26 July 2007 - 7:13pm

For those of you who don't know, the router and gateway for my home's internal network is a computer running Fedora 7. It also acts as the DNS server for the computers on the network to provide hostname resolution for each of the machines, which keeps me from having to type IP addresses all day long. Up to now, though, I did not have this router computer configured to query its own DNS server, so I still had to use IP addresses when using it. Here is what I did to have the router query its own DNS server.

First, edit the resolv.conf file:
sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf

OpenVPN setup...finally!

EPKPhoto — 10 July 2007 - 9:41pm

With openvpn already installed via yum:

su -
cp -a /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn/
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0
vim vars

Edit the following:
export KEY_COUNTRY="US"
export KEY_PROVINCE="VA"
export KEY_CITY="Chesapeake"
export KEY_ORG="KerbyServer"
export KEY_EMAIL="admin@kerbyserver.net"

Save the file, and more commands:

./vars
source vars
./clean-all
./build-ca
./build-key-server server

Go with all the default entries.

./build-key kerbspb

Again, go with the defaults.

./build-dh
