hi,
Agreed seems IMHO that ifone wanted to smear djb they would do it
as soon as they had the evidence and they have tried and so far failed
to provide evidence that the specific proggies are flawed. Whereas
some of the add ons have been shown to be.. One of the reasons am
interested in rolling out djbdns is to let fire be the judge but confort
zone is with the programs as each day passes a bit more:-))
Best Regards,
