Make sure you have rpm whois installed AND running the correct binary of whois. There is a second whois binary in the sax2-tools rpm, which seems to be totaly unrelated to the whois command, but gets precedence by $PATH over the exspected whois (neat eh?! ;-) The exspected whois resides in /usr/bin/whois. Use 'type whois' and 'rpm -qf <path-to-whois>' to check which one you are executing. Greetings .....Volker Am Donnerstag, 10. August 2006 06:12 schrieb Arie Reynaldi Z:
Hi All,
After couple of times trying, i notice that 'whois' command in suse 10.0 not working as usual. Before suse 10.0, whenever i type 'whois', it will shows this: using whois-4.6.9-40.4 back1:~ # whois Usage: whois [OPTION]... OBJECT...
-l one level less specific lookup [RPSL only] -L find all Less specific matches -m find first level more specific matches < ---- cut ----> And I can check domain from it. 'whois linux.com'. But in suse 10.0, it shows nothing. using whois-4.7.5-3.2 gwcbn:~ # whois linux.com gwcbn:~ #
Has anyone had problem like this ? I really need to use whois, cause it's more easy and quicker then browsing thru web to check domain name.
regards,
