you can also try to use

host -t ns <domain>

or

nslookup -type=ns <domain>

maybe one of these commands is already installed on your system

. . . and if he's running Windows? (All the world is *not* a Linux box) – voretaq7 Jun 14 '10 at 21:47

And do all distributions (out of the box) support yum? There's also a unix tag, which again kills the notion of yum as a valid answer. – John Gardeniers Jun 15 '10 at 18:07
