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 ....
