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 745).
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 592).
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 857).
LDAP Client
If using LDAP for user authentication in the network, configure the client in LDAP
Client. Information about LDAP and a detailed description of the client configuration
with YaST are available in Section 36.6, "Configuring an LDAP Client with YaST"
(page 688).
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 667).
