Resolved, case closed ... Re: [cobalt-users] changing dns without GUI



I just cat'ed out the /etc/named/records and that file certainly does at least display all the info I want to change. Can I ftp that file down to my local PC, make changes to it, ftp it back up and then do a SAVE CHANGES in the GUI??? Or is it not that easy?

Sure. That should work. Just make a backup first and after you upload pay attention to owner and group ownerships.

WOWEEKAZOWEE - this is SO MUCH better than the dumb GUI. Since I have plenty of entries to work with, so I know all the formats, using Word Perfect's macro editor, I changed the entire records file to add a new A record for each domain. Working great. I can't believe how slow the GUI is, especially compared to this pretty simple manual method.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for everyone's help on this, greatly appreciated!!!!!
