5188.0. "UCX still seems to use an old NAMED.CA file" by BACHUS::ROELANDTS (Wa d'es ma da ve ne stuut) Mon Feb 03 1997 08:48

  Hello,

  While looking at some error messages generated by an NT Firewall system,
  we thought the customer was still using an old version of the named.ca
  file somewhere on his network. To our surprise it was a UCX system, looking
  at this on our TSC cluster (which runs UCX V4.1-eco3), I'm still seeing that
  old version. Wouldn't it be a good idea to include a new version of that
  file in the new UCX versions ? Perhaps also in an upcoming ECO kit ?

  Rgds,

         Guy


A. Here is the file that I found on our TSC cluster :
