DescriptionFile
DNS lookup utility – Displays the following message: “Note:
nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future
releases. Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs
instead. Run nslookup with the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent
this message from appearing.?
/usr/bin/nslookup9
Dynamic DNS update utility – Submits Dynamic DNS
Update requests as defined in RFC 2136 to a name server.
This allows resource records to be added or removed from
a zone without manually editing the zone file. A single
update request can contain requests to add or remove more
than one resource record.

Enabling BIND
The enable script, /usr/sbin/bind9enable, enables either BIND Version 9.3.6-P1 or BIND
Version 8.
To enable a version of BIND:
1. Run the rndc-confgen key generation tool. This tool provides a convenient method for
generating configuration files for the rndc name server control utility and must be run prior
to enabling a version of BIND. See the README.1st file in the documentation provided with
the software for more information and review the BIND documentation in Section : BIND
Documentation. For specific information about the rndc-confgen key generation tool, see
the rndc-confgen(8) reference page. For information about the rndc name server control utility
and associated configuration file, see the rndc(8) and rndc.conf(5) reference pages.
2. Use one of the following methods to enable either BIND Version 9.3.6-P1 or BIND Version
8:
• To enable BIND Version 9.3.6-P1, enter /usr/sbin/bind9enable v9 from the UNIX
command prompt.
The enabler script copies sbin/init.d/named9 to sbin/init.d/named, allowing
BIND Version 9.3.6-P1 to run. See Section : Running the BIND Startup Script for
information on starting the BIND Version 9.3.6-P1 server.
• To enable BIND Version 8, enter /usr/sbin/bind9enable v8 from the UNIX
command prompt.
The enabler script copies sbin/init.d/named8 to sbin/init.d/named, allowing
BIND Version 8 to run. This version of BIND reverts back to the currently installed version
of BIND. See Section : Running the BIND Startup Script for information on starting the
BIND Version 8 server.
3. The sysman utility adds a directory statement in the options section of /etc/namedb/
named.conf upon configuration of a BIND server. The /usr/sbin/bind9enable script
copies the datafiles from /etc/namedb to /etc/namedb9. The network administrator will
need to either remove the directory statement to permit named9 to read files from its default
location (/etc/namedb9) or the administrator may update this statement to reflect the new
location.
By default, the named daemon is built to read files from the sbin/init.d/ directory. You can
change this default with an options statement in your named.conf file.
If you cluster a standalone system, you must rerun /usr/sbin/bind9enable.
