Dear Friends,
Although I got 12 responses to my query on knowing the BIND version but
unfortunately for my version of BIND non of them could help me in
getting the info out of my system.
We use SUNOS 4.1.4 and BIND which is bundled into it.
This gave me a feeling that it is using very old version of BIND.
Anyway I am summarising the answers :
Most of the people suggested to use :
1. strings in.named | egrep -i named
This gave me following output:
/usr/tmp/named_dump.db
/etc/named.boot
/usr/tmp/named.run
/etc/named.pid
named
Usage: named [-d #] [-p port] [{-b} bootfile]
/usr/etc/in.named-xfer
This did not help me in getting the versionof BIND.
2. /usr/ccs/bin/what /usr/etc/in.nmaed
This gave me the following output:
db_dump.c 1.10 89/02/14 SMI
db_load.c 1.13 89/02/14 SMI
db_lookup.c 1.9 88/05/03 SMI
db_reload.c 1.12 88/05/03 SMI
db_save.c 1.9 88/05/03 SMI
db_update.c 1.9 89/02/14 SMI
ns_forw.c 1.15 94/06/16 SMI
ns_init.c 1.13 89/02/14 SMI

ns_req.c 1.14 89/02/14 SMI
ns_resp.c 1.18 89/02/14 SMI
ns_sort.c 1.9 89/02/22 SMI
version.c 1.5 88/05/03 SMI
strcasecmp.c 1.5 88/02/08 SMI
I could not make out the BIND version out of it.
3. To check the log file for BIND daemon. Bit since the version it is
using is too old it did not give any message either.
Anyway ...thanks a lot to follwoing people:
Haicheng Yu, Nickolai, Parris Wood, Benjamin Cline, Greg Plankski,
Brenda MArriot, James Ford, Aaron Lineberger, Craig Whytock, Jochen
Bern, Juan Manuel and Ian Foster.
I am trying to compile 4.9.7
