Yes, the reason why I chose a protocol name over a program name as the origin is exactly the same as what you think/feel. Documenting them is important for whichever we use---I am often confused with what name should be used for the daemon name field in /etc/hosts.allow and a !foo line in /etc/syslog.conf. Okay, I will give it a try to create a patchset for utilities that need /etc/resolv.conf update in the base system. -- Hiroki ----Security_Multipart(Fri_Jun_17_18_33_13_2011_648)-- Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAk37H1kACgkQTyzT2CeTzy31cwCgk30FWzCe66aVRGRkElFViK/W spYAn1eRLre5XxjDjNL07Qo/Vk9dY165 =5sX9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----Security_Multipart(Fri_Jun_17_18_33_13_2011_648)----
