From article <1482@valhalla.ee.rochester.edu>, by deke@galaxy.ee.rochester.edu (Dikran Kassabian): > Hmmm. Some of us have binary only distributions to Operating Systems that > have a strange mechanism for resolving host names through the "yellow pages" Sendmail 5.59 and bind are both Berkeley code. To quote from 'main.c' in sendmail (partial quote only): Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted provided that this notice is preserved and that due credit is given to the University of California at Berkeley. So throw out your binaries and use the source! When the IDA patches come out, there's YP support built in ( bind is the name server from 4.3bsd ). I think sendmail and named/bind were distributed last year in comp.sources.somthingorother. Or grab them from ucbarpa since you are on the internet. Ed Clarke uunet!bywater!acheron!clarke
