ftp daemon takes 50 seconds to response

Note when defining names you may wish to place the name in quote to keep the name lower case.

UCX SET NAME "foo.org"/addr=164.54.22.1

$ UCX SET NAME "eric0011.hcl.com"/addr=10.10.10.10
%CLI-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters
\"eric0011.hcl.com"\

Hello Eric,

slight confusion here.

set name is to set a nameserver. To define a hostname in "/etc/hosts" use

ucx set host "host.dom"/addre=xx.xx.xx.xx

Do define Nameservers I do recommend using

@sys$startup:ucx$config

Select 1 - Core components, then
4 - Bind resolver

This prompts you for both address and name of the DNS server.

Greetings, Martin

Hi Martin,

The problem is the system keeps on asking me "Enter your BIND server name:" if I use @ucx$config GUI interface. That's why I want to use command line

[labadie_1]

Suppose your bind server name is Alpha1, you enter it in the "equivalent" of /etc/hosts (it is the indexed file sys$system:ucx$host.dat, do not edit it by hand)

$ ucx set host alpha1/add=1.2.3.4/alias="alpha1"

As Vms upcases the firts alpha1, you will have ALPHA1 and alpha1 in your database, then you can answer alpha1 for your Bind server.

[Martin P.J. Zinser]

Hello Eric,

enter the address as the "name"

Enter your BIND server name: 10.0.0.8

10.0.0.8 is not in the local host database.
If you want to enter the server in the local host
database, enter the server name. Otherwise, enter .

Enter remote BIND server name []:


Greetings, Martin

P.S. If you do want to enter the name in beforehand use ucx set host as mentioned by me and others ;-)

Hi All! Thank you very much! It works now!
I don't have any experience at DECVMS, you are been a great help!!

I am so stupid :-)!

summary:

IP, getway, netmask, domain: no problem
Telnet: no problem
ping: no problem
trace router: no problem
name resove(nslookup): no problem
ftp to localhost: no problem

Only problem: bind server IP is not right

A little bit confused: could telnet to IP or Machine name, it means DNS server works well, but bind server ip is not right?
