Greetings.

Seems the whois service on our Suns (SunOS 4.1.3) is out of date or not
working. I get the message:

Please note that all INTERNET Domain, IP Network Number, and ASN
records are now kept in the new Internet Registry, RS.INTERNIC.NET.
This whois server only contains DOD Information.

The man page for whois is less than helpful, as is a search for "whois"
in the Sun AnswerBook. Anyone know what I have to do here?

Until next time...
Todd

Sign in a farm-equipment dealer's repair shop:
"We do three types of jobs: Cheap, Quick, and Good. You can have any two:
a good quick job -- won't be cheap;
a good job cheap -- won't be quick;
a cheap job quick -- won't be good."

Try "whois -h rs.internic.net" for non military information.
