<sarcasm>Yeah, none of the stuff you said about BIND is FUD. </sarcasm>
Yep is FUD :-), but a funded FUD,
Please rebate anything i said :-)
BIND works in the hand of a skilled sysadmin. The config files are
straight forward and not very complicated.
>Can't blame BIND because nic.es and your isp made administrative mistakes.
I've been running BIND for almost 7 years, and never once had a problem.
Is a courious coincidence that the issues were updating BIND (And FYI, this
was an unattended update).
Who runs a nic with unattended updates enabled? That's just bad
practice on a production system. And no roll back procedure? Even
worse . . .
And CERT Security Warning are FUD too?
Is a technical mistake, not administrative.
I disagree. Automatic updates on something as important as a nic is
just bad management. Updates should be tested before deployed.
BIND is to DNS what sendmail is to mail.
Sendmail is very neat. It supports a lot of features that are quickly
becoming mandatory. We're not there yet. We still don't have srs
support, which is required for proper spf to work.
It works, but is insecure, ugly, difficult to maintain (hey, if you do
something with it), and with continual software upgrades.
You like it. Use it.
I'll do not.
The only problem with DJB soft is that he doesn't permit distributing
derived works in binary form. Just that.
I'm agains that policy, but right or wrong is his own decission.
Just a question:
Why do you use Qmail?
Because I like the architecture, the community, the flow.
I do dislike that the license has become an impediment. Keeping
features up to date without the ability to ship modified binaries has
seriously limited the number of people willing to work on the system.
The fact that QmailToaster is where it is today is really a testament
to the patience of Bill Shupp & Nick Hemmesch.
