That's a questionable statement, at best: http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-9069/product_id-16058/D.j.bernstein-Djbdns.html > Total number of vulnerabilities : 3 http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-64/product_id-144/ISC-Bind.html > Total number of vulnerabilities : 72 BTW, was it totally irrational of me to be so chuffed to see CGF using the term "administering" a server rather than "administrating"? I really dislike the latter usage. cheers, DaveK
