Message-ID: <9204301812.aa14322@NRI.Reston.VA.US>
I having been looking into putting some network information into
my X.500 directory. In particular I would like to have directory
entries which contain a nodename, ethernet address, IP address,
subnet information, etc., and allow users to inquire via 'WHOIS
node,nodename@WP' (or the equivalent) on any system for that
information.
It seems like a formidable task. Is there some short cut that
I am missing? I certainly have no problem formatting the informa-
tion into a flat file for an EDB. But I don't know what defined
fields are available to hold the information. In addition, I
think I would have to modify 'whois.c' in the ISODE distribution
kit to handle responses. I am not sure even that would do it. I
do not have a lot of time to do coding. I was really hoping I
could simply add a new EDB file and make one or to quick configu-
ration mods without modifying any code. Is that possible?
Thanks .... Connie Logg
