rsh domain name
hey there

i'm facing an issue with my script, I'm not sure there's a solution..
I want to get information about the rest of the machines that share the same domain name with me.I know that this is possible by using the rsh command, but the thing is that i'd like to know if it's possible to have access to them without having to write each name,I mean if there's a way to do it by using the domain name.

rsh is just a remote shell... I dont see how it will help you finding information on machines in the same domain...
Only your domain administrator knows all the servers in his domain... since he maintains the DNS servers...

Depending on the implementation of your nslookup command it does or doesn't support the "ls" option. This option - if it is implemented - lists the names of the hosts specified within the DNS domain. Of course the server has to be configured to answer such requests too (which is not always the case, for security reasons).

For more information about DNS see RFC 1034 & RFC 1035 (P. Mockapetris, 1987). Recommended reading: "TCP/IP Illustrated" by W. Richard Stevens

I hope this helps.
