What does the above line mean ?
Well , the only understandable thing i got from nslookup , was that it's use was depreceated . Othen than that i tried giving the above command but the result was a lot different than a bind version .
or dig
dig @YOUR_NAME_SERVER version.bind CHAOS txt
Are you asking the DNS Server to print it's Version number , which is presumably stored in some sort of RR ?
[root@Magellan root]# dig @10.0.0.1 version.bind CHAOS txt

Alexander , well i have changed the actual IP Address to a fake one , but other than that the output is original
"named -v" does it too.
[root@Magellan root]# named -v
BIND 9.2.2-P3
Well finally that's a bind version that is actually understandable
My computer is an FC1 with as much updates as i can get .
Kind regards , Kostas
