It looks as if I'll be installing 4.8-RELEASE-p10 on some servers, but bringing in the latest Sendmail -- and BIND 9 with Paul's patch for Verislime -- rather than using the versions of Sendmail and BIND in the base install. I'd go with djb for DNS, but the only override for Network Pollutions' jokers (oops, I mean wildcards) that's available for djb is a poor hack by Russ Nelson. It's dependent upon Verislime keeping the same IP address for their "sitefinder" server(s) for all time, and we cannot (of course) trust them to do that (or, in fact, trust them with anything). --Brett Glass At 09:54 AM 9/27/2003, Murray Stokely wrote: >On Wed, Sep 24, 2003 at 08:35:55PM -0600, Brett Glass wrote: >> I'm waiting for the release of 4.9 to do some system upgrades (I've >> patched the machines in the meantime, but really need to do fresh >> installs.)
