/etc/hosts issue

[cristian_asir]

Hello, I have an issue with /etc/hosts.

I make changes in /etc/hosts but when I reboot OPNsense this changes dissapear and I have the same content than before.


Is so strange but I need to resolve it because I want to join an AD domain

What are you trying to add? Normally you use Unbound or Dnsmasq host overrides to fill that file.

That

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.109.2.80 OPNsense.localdomain OPNsense
search proxy.asir
domain proxy.asir

[franco]

Do you need this info for clients only or the firewall as well? BTW, "search" and "domain" belong to resolv.conf (which is also rewritten for safety).

Sorry sorry...

I try to write

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.109.2.80 OPNsense.localdomain OPNsense

(/etc/hosts)

But when I reboot OPNsense the second line (10.109.2.80 OPNsense.localdomain localdomain) changes and I have other line content

[franco]

Yup, you can use Dnsmasq and Unbound host overrides to achieve this.

I will try it, thanks for your help!!

[franco]

Sure, let us know if it works. It might not end up in /etc/hosts specifically, but it will be served by Unbound/Dnsmasq itself.


Cheers,
Franco
