Wow.

I think there's been a GREAT deal of duplication of effort over whois(1)..

Have you looked at Mike Barcroft's patches, posted both as a PR and
as a longish thread on -audit a couple of days ago, or at Joachim
Strombergson's patches, posted as a longish thread on -audit a month
or so ago?

My understanding is that Mike Barcroft's patches remove the warnings,
and Joachim Strombergson was working on the server list thing :)

G'luck,
Peter
