8) For people who deal with DNS:
Make sure you dont forget to add this to your options command in named.conf
allow-transfer { <ipofsecondarydns>; };
to keep from allowing this to happen:
client# nslookup
Default Server: client.ventanamed.com
Address: 1.2.3.4
> server ns1.badadmin.com
Default Server: ns1.badadmin.com
Address: a.b.c.d
> ls -d badadmin.com>> gotyourwholedns.log
[badadmin.com]
#####
Received 258 answers (258 records).
> exit
client#
Its just another way to make your life easier and a little more secure.

yep yep
and another command that can grab some info is 'host'
try a 'host -a' or 'host -l -v -t any'
among others..
Although I find the output useful (knowing which is the A, the NS, the SOA, etc)
it can be a security risk. Actually Cobby was in the process of writing about DNS
spoofing. Can't wait for that one to goto X-Zine. It'll be a hit I'm sure....
Anyways, good job maddy (wilnix for those who don't know him...)
No problem!
Next week I'll add another tip...
