BIND on HP-UX 11.00

[Wendy_9]

Hi All,

I want to know that how to identify whether the system has install BIND or not.

I cannot find such software at swlist and I want to know my system has either BIND4.97 or BIND8.1.2 in order to decide I need to apply the security patch for BIND or not.

Thanks

Regards,
Wendy

HP-UX 11.11 comes with BIND version 8.1.2.
HP-UX 11.00 comes with BIND version 4.9.6.
HP-UX 10.20 comes with BIND version 4.9.3.
HP-UX 10.00 comes with BIND version 4.8.3.

Use what(1) to determine what version of BIND is installed:

$ what /usr/sbin/named | grep named
/usr/sbin/named:
named 8.1.2 Tue Feb 15 06:58:53 GMT 2000

There are several patches available for BIND:

o 11.11: PHNE_23275 - provides several bug fixes & new 'nsupdate' tool
o 11.00: PHNE_23274 - upgrades BIND to v4.9.7.
o 10.x: PHNE_23277 - upgrades BIND to v4.9.7.

Bind basically means the named. So the version of named is the version of Bind. To check the version just do
what $(which named)

at the prompt it wil tell you the version.
