Reliable name resolution is essential for almost every networked service on a Linux server. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 gives you several places to configure how hostnames are resolved: the static /etc/hosts file, the resolver configuration in /etc/resolv.conf, the look-up order defined in /etc/nsswitch.conf, and DNS settings managed through NetworkManager. Knowing how these layers interact […]

Disk encryption is a critical layer of defense-in-depth for any Linux server handling sensitive data. LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) is the standard on-disk format for Linux disk encryption, and cryptsetup is the user-space tool that manages it. On RHEL 8, LUKS2 is the default format, bringing improved metadata handling, larger headers, and support for […]
Introduction to DHCP with DNS Dynamic Update on Windows Server 2019 DNS Dynamic Update (DDNS) allows the DHCP server to automatically register and deregister DNS records on behalf of DHCP clients whenever they obtain, renew, or release IP addresses.
