What were you trying to do?
hostinfo m4-035-10
What's wrong:
The above returns:
Desired host: m4-035-10
Official name: m4-035-10.MIT.EDU
Host address: 18.74.0.29
Host info: DEC/VAXSTATION/UNIX
What should have happened:
m4-035-10 is an RS/6000. The last line should have read:
Host info: IBM/RS6000/AIX
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
the hostinfo man page doesn't mention where it gets the information
from, though it suggests at least some of the information is obtained
from the nameservers. Could you please update this information wherever
it might exist? Thanks.
