Daniel Berenstein is an interesting individual... he is pretty much a genius when it comes *Nix programing. He used to offer something like $500 to anyone who could find a flaw in his software. If you haven't done your homework, be careful asking him for help with his software. He has a tendency to respond with answers like "The solution to that question is to READ THE F*ING MANUAL!" (without the editing). He is vehemently opposed to BIND, which is why he created his own DNS system, djbdns. He is also heavily into cryptography, and has petitioned the government to increase internet security, especially since 9/11.
He also has the coolest URL on the internet... http://cr.yp.to Bryan Forrest On Friday, February 28, 2003, at 12:52 AM, Jerry Yeager wrote: > au tools has been released. > > http://au.gu.st/ > > This is a collection of tools written by Daniel Berenstein that allows > you to install QMail (a more secure version of SendMail) and enable > DNS caching on you Mac (10.2 required). > > Please note: This will NOT enable you to start your own world wide > spam service from the kid's computer, nor bypass the need to use your > ISP supplied email address.
