Hi All,

Can anybody tell me commands to display primary and secondary nameservers And also the Workgroup in which my computer is there?

Thanks and Regards,

If you want to see what nameservers your box is using you can:

Code:

cat /etc/resolv.conf

If you want to find the primary and secondary dns of a domain:

Code:

dig ns domain.com

Regarding samba, iirc to find out the workgroup you can use:

Code:

smbclient -L localhost

This is because you're not running samba in your box.
You can use instead of localhost the name or the ip of another box that is master for your domain/workgroup
