I really dislike the latter usage. cheers, DaveK ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

That's a questionable statement, at best: > >http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-9069/product_id-16058/D.j.bernstein-Djbdns.html Yeah, in the djbdns case, it's more of a situation of not wanting to stick with an arcane file layout. Most of us have more experience dealing with bind. I've found the djbdns stuff hard to use. The original plan was to get rid of all of the djb utilities but you may have noticed that we're still using qmail and ezmlm. I'm very comfortable with them. >BTW, was it totally irrational of me to be so chuffed to see CGF using >the term "administering" a server rather than "administrating"?
