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
