No, named is not "third party". FreeBSD is an OEM with regard to named (i.e. it is distributed as part of the OS). Many people often complain about this, but without a seperation of the resolver library into a "libresolv" seperate from libc (ELF permits linking libc against libresolv, so no Makefile's would need to be killed in making that movie), it's really very integral to the system, and can't be easily seperated. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
