whois on suse is not compiled with IDN support Hmm? $ jreuter@lamarr:~> whois wölfisch.de domain: wölfisch.de domain-ace: xn--wlfisch-90a.de status: connect How is this related to IDN anyway? It just does not add "-T dn". And it did so on SL 9.3. schwab@ have fixed it in STABLE: +Fri Sep 9 22:42:49 CEST 2005 - schwab@suse.de + +- Add libidn, libidn-devel to nfb. +- Compile with -DHAVE_LIBIDN, needed for DENIC workaround. |
Contrary to the man page If the program is compiled with IDN support, when querying whois.denic.de for domain names it will automatically add the flags -T dn,ace -C US-ASCII if no flags have been specified by the user. The domain name will always be IDN-encoded. whois(1) on 10.0 Beta 3 does not add -T dn flag to a request to whois.denic.de. Without the dn flag the whois server will only output whether the domain is connected or not. It did add the flag, however, with whois on SL 9.3 and there is no change documented in the changelog or the man page.
