It's not misinformation to say that djbdns doesn't implement dnssec. This is a typical (and unfortunate) response from someone who advocates djb's world view. Explaining why he thinks something isn't a good idea is not the same as implementing it. Similar points could be made for the other topics in this e-mail. The reasons for not putting djbdns in the base have been adequately made, I won't belabor them. Doug -- "Pain heals. Chicks dig scars.
