Taking the opportunity to convert yet another server here to FreeBSD, I built a new DNS on FreeBSD 4.9. =20 =20 I have noticed a couple of odd things. =20 Typing in /usr/sbin/named -v, gets me this: =20 named 8.3.6-REL Mon Oct 27 14:55:35 GMT 2003 root@freebsd-stable.sentex.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/named =20 which totally doesn't look right since it should be bind 9 something or other. The package was /usr/ports/dns/bind9 =20 which stated in the package description that it would install BIND version 9. Either the binary doesn't know what version it is or the package has something funky in it that's yielding the wrong version number after compilation. =20 =20 =20 Thanks, =20 Ms. Jimi Thompson, CISSP Manager, Web Operations Cox School of Business Southern Methodist University =20 "What kind of peace do we seek? Not a 'Pax Americana' enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of a slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children-not merely peace for Americans, but peace for all men and women; not merely peace in our time, but peace for all time." - John F. Kennedy =20 =20 =20
