This has been discussed on -questions several times, check the archives. Personally I don't recommend it. It's just as easy to use the existing mechanisms in rc.conf to start the proper version at boot time. If you're concerned about cow-orkers starting the wrong one, set the no bind option in /etc/make.conf and replace /usr/sbin/named with a script like this: #!/bin/sh echo "Hey, didn't I tell you to start named in /usr/local?" > Last time I tried, it resulted in me losing my system for a day Sounds like a good reason not to do this. :) Doug -- "Pain heals.
