On AIX, by default the named program is linked to named8.

I am not sure about where you can find version information. Maybe if you setup the syslog system (e.g. daemon.info /tmp/daemon.info files 5 100k replace) you could start the named system and see the version in the startup string.

Equivalence between NAMED and BIND

« on: October 30, 2007, 05:10:59 PM »

How are AIX's NAMED and ISC's BIND versions related? AIX 5.3.6 comes with NAMED 8.3.3 which can be patched to comply with the DNS cache poisoning advisory, but it still shows 8.3.3 (named -v) while ISC BIND's latest is 9.4.1. Where can I find this info? Docs says that AIX 5.2 and 5.3 come with BIND 9, but no specific version-level is given.
Thanks.
