I am setting up my new server tonight and I clicked on the WHM feature "Manage Nameserver IP" and I see the two nameservers that I setup and I see a third thats not mine. Specificly, NS2.HOST2SWA7-4HOST.COM, why is that listed and how do I get rid of it? I suspect it might be from someone whom had my IP range prior to me?

This really bites.

No ideas? Well I would really like to free that IP up simply cause its mine to use not theirs. I submitted a support ticket but what can we do? I mean wont the owner of that nameserver have to unregister it with ICANN?

Hey fish creek I have the same issue, what I did was logged into root using
pico /etc/nameserverips
or nano /etc/nameserverips

Then where you see the NS2.HOST2SWA7-4HOST.COM delete that and replace it with =0

That is a zero

Hope this helps.

Why not use vi ?

Seems like everyone likes to use pico or nano for their file editing.

Well I have always used pico and nano comes installed so I usually list those two, never used vi. I looked at it and figured I can do everything I need with Pico
