I incorrectly assumed that something that basic would be installed by default, on a multi CD install!...
I have a wonderful set of network tools, in a nice tabbed display, NONE of which actually work as the back end programs were left out Apt get isn't there because it is suse, so that means finding whois and installing it now involves firing up softwate that may or may not work, and so far has taken nearly an hour to get ready for me having a quick squiz for "whois".... If it ever lets me! I've been spoilt, i've used debian till now, and as soon as i have spare bandwidth again, i shall return too! Suse has a long way to go before software installation is as direct as : "apt-get whois install" On Thursday 26 April 2007 15:03, Volker Kuhlmann wrote: All TC's customers have IPs which whois says belong to TC - sorta obviously. The hostname doesn't look like TC infrastructure to me, but that's anyone's guess. Ring techsupport, they should be happy to tell you. While you're talking to them, ask if they charge for ping traffic - if not, add a shut-up rule to your logging.

Bah... the foolishness is evident in displaying basic ignorance such as failing to install the package called whois (quote Homer here) and finding it easier to blame $VENDOR instead of pushing a few buttons ;) Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
