Have you used it Rod? No, I haven't used it, I don't do much day to day production work from the 4.x-current playpen box. I'm heading that way now to take a look at it and probably smash it onto my production desktop box if it does what you say it does. This latest set of changes to all the whois stuff has me a bit in an uproar, with NSI and the RA screwing around with output formats all in the same month breaking lots of little shell scripts for me my life has been misserable. :-( At least with RA I just had to smash in a ripe181 to get the old format back until I can update the tools to rpsl :-) -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
