Internet Services

Internet Services delivers and supports the networking services considered essential to HP-UX system administrators interoperating in a network based on the TCP/IP framework. These networking services include:

FTP
r-commands (such as rcp, rlogin, remsh)
mailers (such as mailx, elm, sendmail)
DNS/BIND
routing services (gated, mrouted and ramD)

BIND

BIND is a Berkeley implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS). It is a distributed network information lookup service that maps host names to Internet addresses, and Internet addresses to host names. It also facilitates Internet mail routing by providing a list of hosts that accept mail for other hosts.




	NOTE: BIND is a Software Pack (SPK) product available on the web. It is not available on the HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environments. For more information, see “Software Pack (Optional HP-UX 11i v2 Core Enhancements)”.
