[comp.sys.next] 0.9 Anyone?

sstanfie@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (skot) (04/27/89)

It's been rumored that Ver. 0.9 was supposed to be out this month.  Anyone
actually have it yet?

Another thing:  in the rc.local, there is a line at the top to set the
domain name using, oddly enough, the command /bin/domainname.  Only thing
is that it doesn't work.  I need it for IP access.  BTW, this is ver. 0.8
so I wouldn't be too suprised if it's not supposed to work.

"Real Soon Now".  Last I heard from NeXT was that our upgrades had
shipped on the 17th, so we've had some people here waiting eagerly all
week.  This probably explains the recent drop in volume for this
group: everyone's either waiting for it or playing with it.

/bin/domainname is for Yellow Pages domains only.  Nothing else pays
attention to it.  For example, my YP domain is "cis.osu", but our
Internet domain is "cis.ohio-state.edu".

  I'm not sure what your problem is with IP.  If you're part of an
established domain, just make sure that they put you into the
appropriate nameserver and hosts files, and all should be well.
