Try 'uname -a' to get the FreeBSD version. Also 'dmesg' to find out what the machine sees at startup. Bind is a mystery to me, and I like it that way :-) but we don't usually answer questions here, just point people to resources and discuss the ways that newbies use them. See http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies for more info. > I inherited admin of a FreeBSD machine, and haven't had any experience > with admin of a BSD based machine before. Well you really should subscribe to the freebsd-questions mailing list, where you can ask these questions and more, and see other people's questions and answers. To subscribe, send an email to majordomo@freebsd.org (subject doesn't matter) with this line alone in the body: subscribe freebsd-questions Before posting to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org it's a good idea to read http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies There's a short guide to the basic FreeBSD resources at http://www.freebsd.org/newbies.html You can branch out from there. Come back and ask here if you need more pointers to info or advice about using mailing lists. We'd also be keen to hear how you get on. Many of us have also been 'thrown in the deep end' and survived to chat about it :-) We can do that here in freebsd-newbies. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
