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, -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

Hi Arie, I'm running 10.0 also with whois 4.7.5-3.2 and it's working fine. Have you tried the '--verbose' flag yet? Carl

Please check if firewalling blocks access to the whois database servers. That is the most probable cause. Sandy -- List replies only please! Please address PMs to: news-reply2 (@) japantest (.) homelinux (.) com

I'll check my firewall, but I dont think the problem is in firewall, cause it just dont give any result whenever i type 'whois'. But thanks for advice.. -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

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:

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.

Wow.. this is really WORK.. After I check, i can't use whois whenever i logged as root, but with reg user, i can do whois. In root, 'whois' calls program in sax2-tools (which is i never know it happen.. is sax uses whois ?). And in users, it calls whois in /usr/bin/whois which work as usual. Thanks Volker.. :-) BTW, is there any chance to switch back whois to /usr/bin/whois instead in /usr/sbin/whois ? I mean in default suse.. regards, -- Arie Reynaldi Zanahar reymanx at gmail.com http://www.reynaldi.or.id

I've just installed whois. It works as a user, but not as root. as you said, rpm -qf /usr/sbin/whois gives: sax2-tools-2.7-27 (both, typed as user and as root) but what must I do now that it runs the reight whois as root too? Or is it better not to run it as root anyway? Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Switzerland professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com Madagascar special: http://www.sanic.ch

The solution proposed in the original thread was the rename the "wrong" whois to Whois (with a big W). -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts
