Guys,

While trying to get used to running Suse - was going to do a little
digging on a site...when I found that Suse 9.2 doesn't include the
'whois' command??

Did this:

linux:/ # find / -name "whois" -print
/usr/X11R6/lib/sax/tools/whois

but this isn't the 'normal' whois command (used to research owners of
domain names).  Hit the YAST to see if I could install it - even
searched into the description, but no packages found?

On one of my systems I run Linspire - and wasn't surprise to see whois
is not there either...as probably the normal Linspire user won't be
messing with CLI anyways...but to not find it in Suse really shocked me?

What am I missing? - Thx - Dave
