Hi! Is there someone who has developed a RPM for BIND with the included patch (SuSE 8.1/8.2)? Regards, Radu

It would be waste of time if they did since Verisign can just create a delegation wildcard. -- -ckm

Since I work for a company that's part ISP. I've heard through the grape vine that an as of yet unannounced lawsuit is most likely going to happen with several isp's banning together. Don't know if it's bullshit or the true. But it would make sense. My boss was so livid ..I don't think I've EVER seen him that pissed off. But I agree with Chris..they will just find away around it. Remember how many times Microsoft broke DOS so that Lotus wouldn't run right with each new version. It's like that with every monopoly...Government sanctioned or not. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
