FYI, normally this would get installed by default, when we'd use the usr.sbin/bind/obj/bin/check/Makefile. I know the workaround (just create the symlink yourself) is pretty easy to accomplish, but perhaps it'd be nicer if it'd get installed by default. Is my patch crap or is BIND just not of interest anymore, since NSD is now the way to go? Regards, -- Simon
