Description of problem: According to IANA (http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/ms.html), the current authoritative whois server is "whois.nic.ms", /etc/jwhois.conf contains something else, please change. The old registry and whois server is no longer authoritative. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): jwhois-4.0-10 How reproducible: Everytime. Actual results: Whois server is "whois.adamsnames.tc". Expected results: Whois server needs to be "whois.nic.ms", simply replace in /etc/jwhois.conf. Additional info: Please try to get this fix upstream - upstream is unluckily always very very unresponsive to me.
