FreeBSD is an OEM with >regard to named (i.e. it is distributed as part of the >OS). Just because something is distributed with the OS does not mean that it isn't "third party." The FreeBSD Core Team doesn't develop Perl, for example. It's been said before -- and justifiably -- that one of the biggest pains one encounters when maintaining FreeBSD systems is updating third party applications that are included in the base install. One often has to play subtle tricks, or do a lot of shuffling, to get a newer version installed on top of the old. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
