Keywords: Setting up domain name server Message-ID: <132@dx7.UUCP> Date: 19 Oct 88 16:55:36 GMT Organization: ECN, Petten, Holland Lines: 65 We are trying to set up a nameserver for our IP-domain. Our TCP-IP domain exists of a number of SUN workstations and a large amount of UB NIU-130's and NIU-180's. We want to use a SUN-4/280 as the root domain name server. The only thing we want to do is use UB-NIU tcp telnet>>connect instead of telnet>>open [port nr] ( = user unfriendly ) Currently we didn't succeed due to a problem in the named.db database ( ??) We think we did all things right .... { as in the example in the SUN manual [RFC ....] } Here the examples of the related files: *** named.boot *** ; ; boot file for name server ; domain ECN-NLERF primary ECN-NLERF /etc/named.db **** named.db *** @ IN SOA ecn.ECN-NLERF. root.ecn.ECN-NLERF.
