Run "rpm -qa |grep bind". This should show you which BIND packages are installed.
To see "version" from BIND's standpoint you'd need to run "named -v" but you may not have permission to do that without root - you may need System Admins to setup sudo access to the named command and other BIND utilities and directories. Note on RHEL the named version returned by "named -v" doesn't tell the whole story. There was a recent major vulnerability identified and RedHat backported the fix to their versions (e.g. 9.3.4-P1) so it is the package version from rpm -qa above that indicates whether you have the backported fix. Of course the above assumes you are not running a version of BIND that someone downloaded and compiled locally. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MaryJane Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2008 11:41 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Determining version of BIND running on RHEL 4.0 box I'm in the process of learning more about BIND, as I'm now responsible for DNS running on RHEL box.
