This section is relevant for yule only. Section heading:
[Clients]
Entries must be of the form:
        Client=
        hostname@salt@verifier 
      
See Section 3 on how to compute a valid entry.
The hostname must be the same name that the client
      retrieves from the host on which it runs. Usually, this will
      be a fully qualified hostname, no numerical address. However,
      there is no method that guarantees to yield the fully
      qualified hostname (it is not even guaranteed that a host has
      one ...). The only way to know for sure is to set up the
      client, and check whether the connection is refused by the
      server with a message like 
      Connection attempt from unregistered
      host 
      hostname In that case, 
      hostname is what you should use.

| Problems and oddities encountered in client/server setups (like client messages from 127.0.0.1, server warnings about unknown/unresolved peer, etc. are always(at least so far) due to incorrect configuration of the DNS or the /etc/hosts file. A surprisingly large number of hosts are not able to determine the own hostname, or reverse lookup adresses on the own local network. Don't bother asking about such problems — fix your DNS. |
