In the anonymous FTP area of host UCSD.EDU [128.54.16.1] there is a version of BIND that was ported to Unix SysV by one of Peter Honeyman's "stinking undergrads". We used it with reasonable success on an AT&T 3B15 and the WIN TCP/IP-1.1 package. It uses the socket library. It is pre-4.8 bind. You should ALSO get the 4.8 bind distribution and integrate the two if you are planning to do serious nameserver work on SysV. Take the two files pub/named.48.tar.Z pub/named.SysV.tar.Z I have not updated it to 4.8 because I can't; we "upgraded" our 3B15 to SysV-3.1.1 and WIN TCP/IP-2.1, and now cannot even compile anything that uses sockets, much less make such work. [This "upgrade" also broke every one of our existing socket-based tcp/ip programs, leaving us a rather large machine that is essentially emasculated from the Internet. To date, AT&T has shown little understanding of and no progress in fixing the problem.] If you make a 4.8 nameserver for SysV, ship it back to me and I'll put it out there where people can get to it. - Brian
