- bind-4.9.7-REL
-
- The named daemon and support utilities such as dig, dnsquery, host,
- nslookup, nsquery, and nstest. Documentation on setting up a name
- server will be installed in /usr/doc/bind-4.9.7-REL/.
-
- As of this writing, the most recent version of BIND is 8.1.2-REL, which is
- the version included with Slackware's N (networking) series of packages.
- However, the configuration file format is changed in BIND-8, so there are
- still some sites that may wish to run this older version of BIND instead.
-
- To use this, first you should be sure there's no other version of BIND
- installed on your system. Change into /var/log/packages, and if you see
- files named "bind", or "bind-x.x.x" (where x.x.x is some version number),
- then use "less" to take a look at the contents and see if the package(s)
- really are BIND packages. If they are, you'll want to remove them. For
- example:
-
- removepkg bind
-
- To install this version of BIND, use Slackware's "installpkg" utility:
-
- installpkg bind-4.tgz
-
- If you don't have that, you can install it using "tar" from the root directory:
-
- cd / ; tar xzvf bind-4.tgz
-
- Enjoy! :^)
