This program implements the IEN 116 nameserver protocol. A driver is
provided, its first argument is the network name of the host running the
nameserver, arguments 2-n are names to request the IP address of. This
program is of use primarily for Bridge terminal servers, many of which
use this protocol in requesting machine addresses. For further
information, see the document itself.
To compile, the command:
% make
is sufficient. This will build the nameserver and the driver. The
command:
% make install
will install the nameserver daemon in /etc. Start it by hand initially
and then modify your rc.local file to run it at boot time.
It is only known that this works on a 4.3BSD Vax, but it is likely that
it will function on any compatable UNIX(*) machine.
