Bind Version Info Script

[Riskable]

I wrote a little shell script today to quickly get the version info from a
BIND server.  I thought the people on this list could use a utility like
this...

#!/bin/sh
# description: Find out what version of BIND a server is running
# Written by Riskable (YouKnowWho at YouKnowWhat.com)

# Feel free to distribute as you see fit

nslookup -q=txt -class=chaos << EOF | grep VERSION
server $1
version.bind


...and that's it.  No real error checking because if you screw up nslookup
will spit out a non existent domain error.  Use it like so:

./bind_version nameserver.domain.com

which should spit out:
VERSION.BIND    text = "8.2.2-P7"

...or whatever version of BIND the server is running (assuming they haven't
changed the output with the 'version' option).
