You install the port: # cd /usr/ports/net/bind[89] # make install clean And change the /etc/rc.conf to use the new "named" program on startup named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named" # path to port installed named You leave the base-system's "named" untouched. This procedure saves you the headache of trashing your version of "named" when you upgrade your system. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're right 90% of the time, why quibble about the remaining 3%?
