Distributed Directory name resolver

ddresolve Distributed Directory name resolver

This tool resolves names to addresses, starting from your local directory and following links to other directories.

PROTOTYPE! This is still a work-in-progress. Currently only the local-directory resolving is implemented.

To try it out:

• Clone this repository
• Create a file ~/.local/share/petnames/local/server1.txt containing lines like these:

suggested_name=Server One
desthash=aabbccddeeffaabbccddeeffaabbccdd
identity=bacdbacd

• Run ./ddresolve.py server1 which should display : aabbccddeeffaabbccddeeffaabbccdd

There is also a modified version of rnx.py which will resolve names instead of destination hashes, so you can run:

./rnx.py server1 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'

Usage:

ddresolve.py NAME [PROPERTY]

NAME is a "dot" seperated sequence of names

PROPERTY is the record property you want to retrieve, or 'all' (default: 'desthash')
