version of BIND

[Jeganathan Venkitasamy]

Hi,

How can I find which version of BIND (DNS) is running in my HP-UX server?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

Simply type the following command:
swlist -l fileset | grep -i bind

it should give you one or more lines as this:
# PHNE_20619 1.0 Bind 4.9.7 components

Jegi,
Check your DNS tables. The first line should indicate what version of BIND you are using.

what /usr/sbin/bind gives the definitive version from the binary itself.

You can determine the version of bind (named) being run by any server as follows:

nslookup
> server ns.you.want.com
> set class=chaos
> set type=txt
> version.bind

you should get a response like:
Server: ns.you.want.com
Address: xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa
VERSION.BIND text = "8.2.2-P5"

Good luck

OR...
You can type
#what /etc/named

Versions 4.9.7 are supported on both 10.20 and 11.0. Version 8.1.2 is supported on 11.0 and downloaded from http://www.software.hp.com

Thanks friends,


"what /usr/sbin/bind" gives definitive version of bind and also the patch level.

I am unable to assign points. But anyhow, I feel really sorry for not assigning points.

Friends, do you face problems in point assignment currently ?

Thanks,
