I have just discovered that Red Hat does not include a proper whois
client. This is quite important when tracking down client DNS problems!

I tried to look up a network to track down if the netwrok was
registered/delegated - but whois is onle 'fwhois'.

Can someone point me to a real 'whois' for Linux.

I would also suggest that Red Hat might want to include a real whois in
their next distribution...
