DJB is indeed one stubborm Yid, and as JB Shaw once said, it's the stubborn people who advance humanity, by adapting the world to them rather than adapting themselves to the world. Most people don't like the way he does things. not the config formats, nor coding style, not packaging and license, but you have to admit the guy writes amazingly tight and efficient algorithems, unix-style modular systems made of small, dumb, secure bits that are put together for best performance and functionality. the TinyDNS however, is a let-down, I agree. unlike Qmail, it's a step in the wrong direction for usability, and that's a pity. OTOH I have been fighting with an LDAP server for a few days here and I WISH there was a DJB take on this ugly service, TinyDNS-style. life would have been so much simpler :-( -- Joke of the day Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
