What does the above line mean ?

Well , the only understandable thing i got from
nslookup , was that it's use was depreceated .
Othen than that i tried giving the above command
but the result was a lot different  than a
bind version .

Are you asking the DNS Server to print it's Version number ,
which is presumably stored in some sort of RR ?


[root at Magellan root]# dig @10.0.0.1 version.bind CHAOS txt

[root at Magellan root]# named -v

BIND 9.2.2-P3

Well finally that's a bind version that is actually understandable

My computer is an FC1  with as much updates as i can get .


Kind regards ,
