[SOLVED] ping: unknown host

[pak]

Hi everyone

I have an error enabling "Users and Groups"

Code: [Select]

Some modules reported error when saving changes . More information on the logs in /var/log/ebox/

The following modules failed while saving their changes, their state is unknown: users

The problem is related with sudo and hostname...every tread I read till now doesn't solve my issue

in my /var/log/ebox/ebox.log there is a "sudo" error

Code: [Select]

guerra@fw-guerra:~$ tail  /var/log/ebox/ebox.log
2010/08/20 11:21:23 INFO> Base.pm:799 EBox::Module::Base::_hook - Running hook: /etc/ebox/hooks/firewall.postservice 1

Error in creating temporary file

Errors found.  Aborting (no changes made)
2010/08/20 11:21:24 ERROR> Global.pm:566 EBox::Global::saveAllModules - The following modules failed while saving their changes, their state is unknown: users

I think this is the problem

Code: [Select]

guerra@fw-guerra:~$ ping fw-guerra
ping: unknown host fw-guerra

and then also all sudo operation... for example

Code: [Select]

guerra@fw-guerra:~$ sudo tail /var/log/ebox/ebox.log
sudo: unable to resolve host fw-guerra

Hi Paolo,

I have to admit - you have a lot of good information there :-) But you still miss that little basic one - version numbers of eBox/Zentyal and the module versions.

Take a look at the post that is linked to in my signature. Just a little more to give people a chance to get started. BTW - User corner problems is a well known one on 1.5 and on 2.0rc1. But that belongs in the betaforum, not here  But no worries, if you are using 1.5 or 2.0rc1, I'll just move the thread over.

Hi.. sorry for my late answer but I was in my holiday's week

Here I am now...

so here the information:
the eBox version is the 1.5 on Ubuntu 10.04

those are the versions of packages (I just see that there are some updates)
Zentyal - Common Library     1.5.8-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1    
Zentyal - Core    1.5.12-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1
Zentyal - Firewall    1.5.5-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1
Zentyal - Network Configuration    1.5.6-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1    
Zentyal - Network Services    1.5.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1
Zentyal - Software Management    1.5.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1    
Zentyal - Users and Groups    1.5.7-0ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1

I didn't mention it, cause I don't think it is directly related eBox issue

I didn't use "user corner", cause I configure my eBox like a simple as possible proxy/firewall

just for knowledge I solved my issue

In few words, I create the file /etc/nsswitch.con and I paste this

Code: [Select]

# /etc/nsswitch.conf
#
# Example configuration of GNU Name Service Switch functionality.
# If you have the `glibc-doc-reference' and `info' packages installed, try:
# `info libc "Name Service Switch"' for information about this file.
