Carl> Okay quick Solaris question ... But now I'm Carl> interested in knowing if dig should be a Carl> default tool on Solaris. *Should* be? dig is in /usr/bin on the Solaris system I have access too. No doubt it's part of the standard distribution. I've never installed a Solaris system, so don't know if it's part of some auxiliary optional package of networking tools or something. My bet is it goes on in the first wave and that it will be optional. -- Lynn David Newton Phoenix, AZ
