Commit caa27b0675e171fe85c043d0199bfe77fddb23b9 broke displaying results for at. subdomains because "%" lines exists in their outputs. This patch changes the sx. start hide string to be more specific on the expense that sx. output will contain a single "%" line. More thorough fix would require changing the hiding algorithm to either require prefix for each hidden line or to bind the strings to their respective domains or servers. Fixes <https://github.com/rfc1036/whois/issues/84>.
In 1999 I wrote this Whois client from scratch because the alternatives were obsolete or bloated. This client is intelligent and can automatically select the appropriate whois server for most queries. The internal database is often more accurate than IANA's published one, but please send me any information you have regarding domains and network resources which are not correctly handled by the program. Because of historical reasons this package also contains the mkpasswd program, which can be used to encrypt a password with crypt(3). The canonical distribution point for releases of the program is http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/ .
