Dear Sirs and Madams,
Please consider bringing the new 1.5.7.1 rwhoisd release
into the ports tree. It was specifically built to
address FreeBSD issues, including the broken-by-default
indexer, which is a key component of this system.
Thanks,
Jeff Chan

This release should be considered "beta", as some of the changes have
not be adequately tested. It does not include ARIN's changes
(rwhoisd-1.5.8).
These are the primary changes:
* upgraded to using autoconf 2.5.2d. This _should_ fix the
segfaulting problems on FreeBSD/OpenBSD. Let me know if it
doesn't.
* Removed the PGP guardian stuff. I'm guessing that noone actually
used this feature, and I am unconvinced that it actually worked.
* Uncommented the sample data. This has caused a lot of confusion.
On the other hand, you need to make sure that you aren't
publishing data for "a.com" and 10.0.0.0/8.
mktemp is still used instead of the safer mkstemp. It would take a
bit more refactoring to use mkstemp correctly than seemed worth it, so
for now, just ignore the warnings that gcc gives you about it. Many
of the warnings were for the PGP code, which is now gone.
Enjoy.
