Reply-to: greggt@vax1.cc.uakron.edu (Gregg Thompson) Ok, how does one go about getting mail, telnet, ftp, finger, and all other internet related programs to recognize a name server??? Here at the U of Akron, we have a name server running (the one from ucbvax). We are in the process of getting a new sendmail with IDA but problems are arising because of the inconsistencies between Ultrix and BSD (any help with the new sendmail running on Ultrix with IDA would be GREATFULLY APPRECIATED!) Now what about finger, telnet, ftp, and other programs that use internet in one form or another. How do we get these programs to recognize the name server???

Just came out. You should have it. It has nameserver support built in to everything. The long answer... You must have sources. You 1. Compile the nameserver stuff and install it in libc.a in place of the non-nameserver routines (gethostbyname, gethostby......). 2. Compile anything else that uses those routines (ftp, telnet, etc etc etc) Like I said... Use ultrix 3.0. Re: sendmail.... the *only* inconsistency that I can think of is that we still use the old syslog routines so their are arg count errors which tend to dump core on you when you run. Just fix the syslog routines in sendmail to use the older argument format or install the new syslog routines also... Fred

Reply-to: collins@sleepy.unm.edu (William Collins) Which ultrix? 1.2, 1.2, 2.0, 2.2, 2.3? All of these do not use the BIND service. Unless you have source, you would be hard pressed to modify binaries to use it. If you are using Ultrix 3.0, you are in luck. It *has* BIND name server, and it has a simple script to set it up, bindsetup(8). Bill collins@unmvax.unm.edu Bill Collins collins@unmvax.unm.edu ucbvax!unmvax!collins

You need to recompile telnet, ftp, and finger with references to the nameserver libraries. Or, you can wait to get version 3.0 of Ultrix which has BIND4.7.3 incorporated (I've been running a pre-release of this and it works pretty well-all the network programs use the resolver libraries.) >(any help with the new sendmail running on Ultrix with IDA would be >GREATFULLY APPRECIATED!) I am also trying to get IDA set up on Ultrix 3.0 and not having a great time of it so far. I would really appreciate if you would post any responses you get on how to do this. ___________________ Donna McCrave Eastman Kodak, Rochester, NY 716-477-9768 ...!rochester!kodak!mccrave
