Do you use openssh?  Theo and co. write good code too...  Theo's a
little on the arrogant side as well.

  A little? :) Tho one thing I thank Theo about...he puts out Free
  Software.

Hmmm... well, yes. Neurotic did come to mind, but I'm trying to be nice. =) Actually, I really appreciate all that Theo has done, despite his idiosyncracies(sp?).

At any rate, I use djbdns because there is nothing better for my
needs. I'm confident that it will work, as advertised, all of the
time.  I've not been let down in over a year now.  Since I don't

  One of these days I'll have to install djbdns (breaking the license,
  of course...I hate his "installation conventions" rules) and see how
  it goes.

Sure... you can do anything you want with it once you've downloaded the source. He's not going to dictate how you use it on your own machine. It's just how to pass it on to others if in a pre-compiled format. I respect that... makes his job (or the community's job) of support so much easier.

  "The man of understatement" is one of the things you've been called,
  I bet :)

Yes... I'm quite sure that has been one of them.  =)

  Vox, who couldn't resist getting on this one :)

No... I suspect you would have laid in bed all night just itching over it if you hadn't written something... =)
