I think this is a dangerous idea. Check for errors if you run such a thing unattended, something like this: #!/bin/sh tmp=/var/tmp/db.cache.$$ if dig @A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET . ns >$tmp; then mv $tmp /etc/named/db.cache else rm $tmp done Eugene _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
