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 -- This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter.
