Send email to wp-info@psi.com and it will point you to technical reports, software, instructions, etc.. Marty ------------ Hi, I'm trying to get a campus wide whois server going on our Sun 4. I'd like to avoid re-inventing the wheel, but the only whoisd program I found out in anonymous FTPland was the one written at the University of Virginia. While it seems to work rather well for them, it's thoroughly undocumented, and is geared for supporting 60K+ users, while we have only about 3K users here. If anyone can point me in the right direction I will be most grateful... Jonathan Kruger Computing Services Gettysburg College Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
