Anyone have a layman's guide to writing an rwhois daemon?
Hi All, I just wrote a perl daemon that seems to be a working rwhois server but the RFC is quite difficult to read for me. When talking about the protocol it mentions a bunch of requirements and describes them quite strangely (see rfc2167 section 3.1.9). Is there a layman's guide around somewhere or can anyone lend some advice here? Is what I wrote acting like a real rwhois server - at least partially? $ whois -h sirt.hopone.net -p rwhois 66.235.162.21 %rwhois V-1.5:00ffff:00 rwhois.hopone.net (HopOne Internet Corp) servername:sls-cf7p17 domain:rac13a.com ipaddress:66.235.162.21 ipaddress:66.235.166.15 ipaddress:66.235.179.110 abusename:Abuse Department abusephone:206-438-5909 abusemail:abuse@hopone.net %ok (If you try running the command above it may or may not be running and may not succeed) If anyone knows where to get an rwhois daemon that has hooks for looking up the data in an external database (not a .cdb database or flat file) I'd appreciate it a great deal. I won't want to waste too much time on this if I can help it but I want a functioning rwhois server. Our rwhoisd at rwhois.hopone.net has been broken for a while and for the life of me I cannot figure out what's wrong with the data formatting it's using. I attempted to join the mailing list for ISC's rwhoisd daemon but it's dead (no volume on the list). -- Landon Stewart <LStewart@Superb.Net> Sr. Administrator Systems Engineering Superb Internet Corp - 888-354-6128 x 4199 Web hosting and more "Ahead of the Rest": http://www.superbhosting.net
Dunno how much help it'll be but here's mine.. It's basic and probably non-RFC compliant, but it might help. crapbox.idge.net/~tjackson/rwhois.tar.gz On May 7, 2012 6:35 PM, "Landon Stewart" <lstewart@superb.net> wrote:
