Re: Cygwin DNS lookup utility


I just tried the following with bind9.5.0.  The files in the archive have
changed quite a bit (no more .manifest files, for instance), but most of the
instructions still seemed to make sense.  However, the resulting executables
don't run:

% dig smbserver
bash: /usr/bin/dig: Permission denied

Any ideas?

Thanks,
John
