But there are other cases too like if named.conf is still in its generic form then it would be removed as well as some other files that still may be of use for bind from ports. I think a more proper way would be to ignore neccesary base system files like /etc/named /var/named. This would make it easier for someone that was using base bind for a while to make an easy transition over ports bind without having to worry about the effects of delete-old. -- ;s =;
