the whois command in c6 references whois.v6nic.net for ip addresses in the 43.0.0.0/8 range (and maybe others). v6nic is no longer a valid whois server, any nets delegated to it should instead be delegated to apnic.
i have no upstream connections... this change was made in the generic sources for jwhois some time ago
I see this fix was introduced in F20 here, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1121512

The distribution jwhosis.conf is hopelessly out-of-date. You can retrieve an up-to-date one from:

hmm, i replace that .conf file and I still get...
$ jwhois 43.255.100.100 [Querying whois.v6nic.net] [whois.v6nic.net: Name or service not known] [Unable to connect to remote host]
do I need to compile it or something?

Looks as if the upstream jwhois.conf still isn't aware of the v6nic -> apnic change. You can just replace the single occurance of v6nic in jwhois.conf with apnic and you're golden (tested here a moment ago).

I have Skype 2.1.0 running on CentOS 5, but it does not support video.
At various times I have tried to install or run more recent versions on CentOS 5 and CentOS 6, but generally they fail for some reason, e.g. library requirements.
We would like to run Skype in some conference rooms, for business reasons e.g. job interviews where some participants don't have access to more "professional" solutions, and as I recall Microsoft shut down gateways to H323.
Does anyone have a good procedure for running Skype on CentOS ? E.g. does it run natively on CentOS 7 ? Or will it run with a custom LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as does Mozilla ? Or will it run inside a virtual machine, or with Wine ?
We have video capture cards using V4L2 that work with e.g. SeeVoghRN, xawtv and, I think, Ekiga.

If you're not stuck on CentOS 5...

To the point, works.

That article seems unnecessarily complicated, at least as far as CentOS 6 and 7 are concerned. Skype is in the nux-dextop repository (which repository is mentioned in the article), so a simple 'yum install skype' will do the trick.

It would be nice, as that's what we're still using in production.

Thanks. I missed that - hadn't heard of nux-dextop - but I did find a specfile. Skype works, but not sending video. I see that the nux RPM installs libv4l.i686 which I was missing, but that didn't help. I've installed xawtv.i686 and removed xawtv.x86_64 so I can see that 32-bit video is working, but still not in Skype. It shows the graphic card, but doesn't actually send. If I plug in my infrared camera on USB, that works, but at TRIUMF I want to use the installed Sony PTZ cameras, not some cheap USB thing.
