.SH Description:
The
dnsutl package is a collection of tools to make administering DNS
easier.  The tools include:
.sp
dns-rev:
'in +8m
Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the reverse mapping.
.in -8m
.br
dns-hosts:
'in +8m
Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the /etc/hosts file.
.in -8m
.br
dns-ng:
'in +8m
Take the forward DNS mapping and generate the /etc/netgroup file.
.in -8m
.br
dns-ethers:
'in +8m
By using a bogus record type, you can keep the MAC address with the IP
address, and generate the /etc/ethers file.
.in -8m
.br
dns-bootp:
'in +8m
Using the MAC and IP information, you can generate the
/etc/bootptab file.
.in -8m
.br
dns-bootparams:
'in +8m
Using the MAC and IP information, you can generate the Sun
/etc/bootparams file.
.in -8m
.sp
All of these programs are both faster than shell scripts,
and more robust when faced with all the peculiar semantics
of DNS resource files.
They even understand the \f(CW$include\fP directive.
.sp
The dnsutl package runs on almost any flavor of UNIX.
Self configuring using a GNU Autoconf generated configure script.
There are no modifications required to compile it for Linux.
