This subject is covered in the DNS-HOWTO: http://ldp.nllgg.nl/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html - as well as many other places. Many of the UNIX vendors have good online documentation that is often relevant for Linux users; eg: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ds_form?lang=en_US http://www.docs.hp.com/ http://docs.sun.com/ I don't think there's any 'native' SW Linux (or other UNIXes) that can't be configured with a text editor, and it is very useful to be able to do this. /jan > > > On Mon, 2003-02-10 at 11:40, Ziomek, John wrote: > >>Folks, >> >>What is the easiest way to configure a DNS client under 7.3 and 8.0 in text >>mode. 8.0 has the nice GUI, but I need info for doing this in text mode >>Thanks, >>John >> >> >> >>-- >>redhat-list mailing list >>unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe >>https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > > > > > -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
