- This program implements the IEN 116 nameserver protocol. A driver is
- provided, its first argument is the network name of the host running the
- nameserver, arguments 2-n are names to request the IP address of. This
- program is of use primarily for Bridge terminal servers, many of which
- use this protocol in requesting machine addresses. For further
- information, see the document itself.
-
- To compile, the command:
- % make
- is sufficient. This will build the nameserver and the driver. The
- command:
- % make install
- will install the nameserver daemon in /etc. Start it by hand initially
- and then modify your rc.local file to run it at boot time.
-
- It is only known that this works on a 4.3BSD Vax, but it is likely that
- it will function on any compatable UNIX(*) machine.
