SV: ssh question

[Jan Johansson]

You either need to set up a DNS server, or edit the hosts file of every client that want to reach the pi via name instead of IP.


Just like a phone book, a DNS server translates Names to IP-numbers.

Ämne: ssh question

I have a raspberry pi that runs max2play.  My router sees this device as
'max2play'. However if I try to ssh to it from my Ubuntu machine,
ssh root at max2play gives:
'Could not resolve hostname max2play: Name or service not known'
I can, of course connect using the IP address.

How do I configure ssh so that I can use the device's name? I tried
various suggestions.
ssh-keygen -R max2play, and ssh-keygen -R [IP]
seemed to work and update the known_hosts, but I still could not connect
(Name or service not known)

I tried
>ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root at max2play, but got
ssh: Could not resolve hostname max2play: Name or service not known

Is there a simple way of aliasing the IP address with the name?
