Thanks for the response.
Here is a snippet of the -vvv output which shows
the htdig version:
1:0:http://fabdata.vitesse.com/
New server: fabdata.vitesse.com, 80
Trying local files
tried local file /import/wwwint/robots.txt
Local retrieval failed, trying HTTP
Retrieval command for http://fabdata.vitesse.com/robots.txt: GET /robots.txt HTT
P/1.0
User-Agent: htdig/3.1.5 ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Authorization: Basic Y2Vkd2FyZHM6dGFtN2FuZGM=
Host: fabdata.vitesse.com
Here is the ps output:
cedwards@marley% ps -ef | grep htdig
cedwards 26563 26444 19 16:39:43 pts/15 0:32 bin/htdig -vvv -c conf/htdig.conf -u
cedwards:tmppassd -a
I've tried it under Solaris 7 and 8 on Sparc.
When I was trying the config file way my passwd
did have some special characters which I tried
double quoting, escaping and eventually I just
changed it to something simpler for testing.
Let me know of anything else I can try.
Thanks,
