In English: they won't work with some old code that isn't updated at the same time you update bind because of some initialization order assumptions the old code makes. So if you get the new bind, you need the new sendmail, etc. as well. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
