There is no firewall on the Mandrake box. When I run nslookup I get a message telling me nslookup is out of date. Here's what I get: [ndptal85@Dreadnaught ndptal85]$ nslookup Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases. Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
