Hello: I note your name on the fwhois changelog: http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/rpm2html/rawhide.redhat.com/i386/RedHat/RPMS/fwhois- 1.00-11.i386.html Question: Are you aware that whois as it is now if not functional? Currently whois/fwhois queries: rs.internic.net This is no longer valid with the addition of new registrars (register.com, et al). In order to make whois a functional tool, it needs to query: whois.crsnic.net This is the new central whois lookup for netsol, register.com, etc. rs.internic.net only queries NetSol (very bad and get's hosting companies in trouble). Ideas?

assign to the right component
This will be fixed in fwhois-1.00-12 (or later) in Raw Hide. Thanks for the heads-up.
