That looks more like a warning for people who are running without the source code to their shared libraries (e.g. sunos/solaris). There was a kit inside the bind4.9.x code tree that allowed you to replace the resolver inside libc with the one from the bind sources (at least for sunos4.1.x, if not others). My reading of the above is that 8.x doesn't have that support anymore (probably too many changes) and it shouldn't affect us (unless we suddenly have stopped giving sources out :) ) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
