My understanding was that the version kept in the base system is what the committers and dev team consider the most stable, secure and compatible release. This, of course, would not necessarily meant the latest (see OpenSS*). - Steven -----Original Message----- From: chad [mailto:chad@DCFinc.com] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2001 12:48 PM To: karsten Cc: chad; dl; stable Subject: Re: BIND-9.x On Mon, Jul 02, 2001 at 05:50:09PM +0200, Karsten W.

I hadn't though about that, but I believe I'd support it. Most (I'm guessing here) FreeBSD systems don't run a DNS server. Those that need to could install a port. BIND seems to be in the same catagory as sendmail, contributed software that many people prefer to replace with something more simple. -crl -- Chad R.
