Its not just your boxes, check msn.com at www.betterwhois.com Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information.MSN.COM.TW MSN.COM.SUCKS.FIND.CRACKZ.WITH.SEARCH.GULLI.COM MSN.COMTo single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record.NOTICE: The expiration date displayed in this record is the date the registrar's sponsorship of the domain name registration in the registry is currently set to expire. This date does not necessarily reflect the expiration date of the domain name registrant's agreement with the sponsoring registrar. Users may consult the sponsoring registrar's Whois database to view the registrar's reported date of expiration for this registration.

When I whois domains like msn.com, microsoft.com, aol.com and others I get stuff like: $ whois msn.com Whois Server Version 1.3 Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information. MSN.COM.TW MSN.COM.SUCKS.FIND.CRACKZ.WITH.SEARCH.GULLI.COM MSN.COM My linux boxes seem to work fine. When I query a specific whois server such as whois.networksolutions.com it works fine also. Is anyone else getting anything like this? I'm thinking maybe the default whois server that the whois program queries has been compromised? I'm not sure what the default whois server is. -Chris _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
