The network of IRIS 4Ds I administer is not connected to the Internet but we want to use gethostbyname. I have read the BIND Name Server section of the manual and all associated reference manual pages. All the configuration files I have constructed "look" like those in the manual. But when I do nslookup from a client it tells me *** machine-b can't find machine-a: No response from server where machine-b is the client and machine-a is the server or any other machine. Yes the client has a resolv.conf in /usr/etc/named.d. named really is running on the server. We are running yp. I have ypserv running with the -i option. Another symptom is that anyone logging in on the console of machine-a (the one running named) gets a pop-up button or banner that says Network Security Violation address of machine-a The security violation goes away as soon as I do /etc/chkconfig named off and reboot. What am I doing wrong? Thanks mike

This indicates that the machines's in-addr.arpa name has not been found in the named.rev file ie. it can't match the name it thinks it is to that returned when the window server does an initial gethostbyaddr call when it starts up. ian -- Ian Hoyle /\/\ Image Processing & Data Analysis Group / / /\ BHP Research - Melbourne Laboratories / / / \ 245 Wellington Rd, Mulgrave, 3170 / / / /\ \ AUSTRALIA \ \/ / / / \ / / / Phone : +61-3-560-7066 \/\/\/ FAX : +61-3-561-6709 E-mail : ianh@resmel.bhp.com.au
