Over the weekend I brought up and installed a Sun 4/490, SunOS 4.1.1 .
The problem is that our named seems to not be working properly, and I can't
figure it at all.
Symptoms:
sendmail to off-campus sites returns complaining about "mailer world unknown"
ping and finger say "unknown host"
nslookup works fine.
Question:
Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem?
any help would be appreciated.
