I now have a working DNS. Now onto more pressing problems. 1. I need to hook a HP Laserjet III or Deskjet 500 to my BSD console machine. I am not fluent in C at all, so if anyone gives help, please try to be patient and point me in the right C direction. 2. Whenever I enter new names into my passwd file, I have to go in and change my own password to update the database. How do I just rebuild the database with one command. I'll bet 10 to 1 that it's something like update or rebuild. 3. I also have the NN tar. I want to install it, but keep getting compile errors, and also, where can I get a news feed so I have news to read??!! Thanks for all the the help. You've no idea how much I've learned...
