I couldn't agree more, and it's one of the biggest reasons I avoided Red Hat flavored operating systems for so long. On the RHEL/CentOS based DNS servers we run, we purposefully generate our own packages just to avoid this annoyance...but it's a problem for a lot more than BIND. I always much preferred the BSD approach, where the port maintainers pull in the latest releases in mostly real time. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
