How many of you use BIND in a commercial environment? How many of you actually contribute money back to the authors of BIND? Its all fine and good saying "When there's a security problem in BIND, I want to know and I want to know now!" but guys, if you want this wonderful level of support, either cough up some money to your software providers, or write it yourself. I might not agree with how Paul is going about it, but I understand his problems. 2c, Adrian -- Adrian Chadd "Romance novel?" <[email protected]> "Girl Porn." - http://www.sinfest.net/d/20010202.html
