While dig belongs to bind, unbound is using drill. You could probably create a symlink to keep your scripts' use of dig. Additionally, you could stop using unbound at all and install bind from ports. This will of course come with the dig command, and you could basically use your old system's bind configuration, you just have to make the move from /etc to /usr/local/etc for the configuration files. There is nothing wrong using bind from ports. It's just that bind not part of the OS distribution anymore, because unbound offers the "more simple features" of bind for DNS resolving, and for everything else, bind from ports can still be used. It's also a newer version than the one which came with the OS. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
