Name
       hesupd - Hesiod update daemon for modifying BIND/Hesiod passwords

Syntax
Description
       The  Hesiod  update  daemon,  is a server that handles password change requests from the command and is run only on the BIND/Hesiod primary
       server serving the password database.  The daemon changes the password entries on the BIND/Hesiod primary server.

       The primary server is identified by the host name alias, bindmaster, which must exist on the server's host entry  in  the  hosts  database.
       The bindsetup command adds the host name alias, bindmaster to the file if it does not already exist.

       This  daemon is not run by default, nor can it be started up from the daemon.  If you want to enable remote password updating for BIND/Hes-
       iod, put an entry for in the file of the host serving as the primary server for the BIND/Hesiod file.  You can add the startup lines for to
       by running the command.

       Hesiod keeps a log file, which records successful and unsuccessful password changes by uid.

Examples
       This following example shows lines you can add to in order to start the Hesiod update daemon at boot time.
	  [ -f /usr/etc/hesupd ] && {
	     /usr/etc/hesupd; echo -n ' hesupd' >/dev/console
	  }

nsquery(1)						      General Commands Manual							nsquery(1)

Name
       nsquery - name server query command

Syntax
       /usr/ucb/nsquery [ lookup ] [ host ] [ server ]

Description
       The command provides an interface to obtain host name and address information.

       If  you	specify  host,	the command obtains information about the specified host. If no host is specified, the command obtains information
       about the local host system.

       If you specify server, the command queries the BIND server that you specify. If you do not  specify  a  server,	the  command  queries  the
       default BIND server.

Options
       lookup  Retrieves the host name, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and aliases of the specified host.  If no host or server is specified, the
	       command obtains information about the local system from the default BIND server.

	       If you do specify the lookup option, the command obtains the information about  the  BIND  server  and  host  specified	(or  their
	       defaults).   If the system from which you issue the command is a BIND server, and you do not specify the lookup option, information
	       about only that server is retrieved.
