Need to get a 5400 to query campus nameserver for domain name resolution. Anybody know how I can get this to happen ? Any problems ? BTW, it's a 68020 MC-5400 running RTU v4.0 Randy Articles to: concurrent@soma.bcm.tmc.edu or uunet!soma.bcm.tmc.edu!concurrent Administrative stuff: concurrent-request@soma.bcm.tmc.edu Stan Barber, Moderator

Domain name resolver support is not available in RTU 4.x; you need RTU 5.0 and Ethernet software version 2.5 to have full domain name solver and domain name service support, or obtain the resolver library source and sources to telnet, ftp, etc. and compile them all. RTU 4.0 has all the socket support you need to use a nameserver, but Masscomp never bothered to include support at that revision. -- Steve VanDevender stevev@greylady.uoregon.edu "Bipedalism--an unrecognized disease affecting over 99% of the population.

Anybody know how I can get this to happen ? Any problems ? BTW, it's a 68020 MC-5400 running RTU v4.0 Randy Bind is supported starting with RTU 5.0 and RTnet-TCP 2.5, both of which were released quite some time ago. If you have a service contract, and haven't received your update, scream bloody murder (not to me, I can't help, but to your sales rep and up the ladder as far as you can go). And no, we will not back-port it, although (I believe) RTnet-TCP 2.5 will install on 4.0 (or on 4.something -- your salescritter has the info), but the library that contains the resolver is not part of the TCP kit (it's in libc). The get*by*() routines were merged with the YP versions so that they search in the order <resolver, YP, files>.
