Borklog: One entry

22 July 2001

Grrrr... I'm in the home stretch studying for the "Networking" portion of the Oracle DBA Certification exam. Right now I'm trying to get "Oracle Names", their bizarro name service feature working so I can get hands-on experience making it work. It looks like it's not supported on Linux. Some pieces are there (such as the namesctl utility for controlling the names server, as well as the "Net 8 Assistant" point-and-grunt interface for configuring stuff supports all the frobs you can twiddle), but some important things (like, oh, the binary for the names server itself!) just aren't there.
