[comp.sys.hp] nameserver question

kelso@gwusun.gwu.edu (John Kelso) (08/18/89)

Greetings-

We are currently running as our nameserver a Sun 3/180, under SunOS
3.5.  This same machine is also our Yellow Pages master.  The version
of the nameserver that Sun sent us seems to have hooks in it such that
YP clients access the nameserver via YP.

We are hoping to have an HP 900/835 replace our Sun this semester as
our nameserver, and dump YP altogether. (We have our reasons.)

Has anyone out there had success in getting a nameserver to run on
their HP?  How much hacking did it take on the standard distribution?
Any other comments and words of advice would be appreciated before we
take the plunge.

Thanks,

John

I have a nameserver running on an 835 (and a couple of 300's as backups).
We obtained the source code from FTP Software, Inc. as part of a package
of public domain utilities.  Our Vectra's run PC/TCP from FTP Software and
make use of the nameserver.

HP-UX release 7.0 will include name server services as part of the NS-ARPA
services.

(now if they'd just get the rest of the services up to 4.3...)

With the upcoming 7.0 release HP-UX will be shipped with BIND. (named)

Be sure to get your update...
