Depending on which version of FreeBSD you have, the "whois" command may or may not be smart enough to use the information contained in the above to dig the real whois entry up for you (basically, a whois query to the whois server run by the registrar). 4.0-RELEASE does the job properly. 3.3-RELEASE certainly doesn't. I'm not sure about 3.4-RELEASE; I added a wrapper to deal with this in mid december. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
