The way to avoid this kind of threads over and over again is to *document*
them. I find that there are quite a number of people willing to answer emails
in the
list but not willing to take some time and *write* about it.
Ok, here's my (standard) suggestion:
Make a system of anotations to the manual. Thous, it's possible to just
cut-n-paste the different mails into the manual and thus make something
that different people can contribute to without setting up docbook ++++.
F.x. in such a situation it's quite for the person who asked the
question to update the docs without commiting to writing _the_
authorative work on securing bind.
I usually try to contribute the knowledge I get from maillinglists to
faq's and comments if it's easy to do so, f.x to contribute comments to
php.
Would it be possible to add this?
