name 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 ex-
tracted 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 infor-
mation in
Chapter 40, The Apache HTTP Server (page 737).
Hostnames
When booting and in small networks, you can use Hostnames for hostname resolu-
tion instead of DNS. The entries in this module reflect the data of the file
/etc/
hosts
. For more information, read Section “
/etc/hosts
” (page 586).
Kerberos Client
If you have a Kerberos server in your network for network authentication, use
Kerberos Client. A detailed description of the client configuration with YaST is
available in
Section 46.6, “Configuring a Kerberos Client with YaST” (page 849).
LDAP Client
If using LDAP for user authentication in the network, configure the client in LDAP

with YaST are available in

LDAP Server
The LDAP server can keep various data in a central directory and distribute it to
all clients in your network. Mostly it is used to store shared contact information
but its function is not limited to that. An LDAP server can be used also for authen-
tication. Information about LDAP and a detailed description of the server configu-
ration with YaST are available in
Chapter 36, LDAP—A Directory Service
(page 661).
