Paraz) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Upgrading resolver for classless in-addr and tcp wrappers Date: 6 Jun 1996 02:14:45 GMT Organization: IPhil Communications Lines: 30 Message-ID: <slrn4rcfer.qae.map@marikit.iphil.net> Reply-To: map@iphil.net NNTP-Posting-Host: marikit.iphil.net X-Newsreader: slrn (0.8.6.1) Hello, I'm checking out my problem with in-addr.arpa resolution with the classless trick. Since I've been told to upgrade to BIND 4.9.3, I'm trying to upgrade the resolver. It seems that /usr/lib/libresolv.a isn't used when compiling the TCP wrappers which are the immediate reason for upgrading. It looks like the functions are in libc.a . To upgrade them, I tried, from the res/ directory of the bind distribution: ar -r /usr/lib/libc.a *.o Then, I tried recompiling tcpd, but it still leads to the same effects --- the reverse lookup fails and only the IP address is recognized. Any clues on how to pull this off? Thanks! -- miguel a.l. paraz <map@iphil.net> iphil communications, makati city, tech problems, to <support@iphil.net> philippines.
