- It depends on how your machines networking is set up. Here are some
- possibilities:
-
- nslookup dragon.acadiau.ca # ask DNS
- /etc/nslookup dragon.acadiau.ca # ditto - nslookup not in path
- /usr/etc/nslookup dragon.acadiau.ca # ditto - another place to look
- fgrep dragon.acadiau.ca /etc/hosts # the old-fashioned way
- ypcat hosts | fgrep dragon.acadiau.ca # ditto - shared under NIS
- ypmatch dragon.acadiau.ca hosts # ditto - more efficient NIS query
-
- With luck, one of these will work for you.
