Hate for us to be the distro that ships > software w/known security holes. 8) We are still in a pre-productive phase right now, which should not mean we are the most insecure distro on planet earth. :-) No version of bind 8 compiles on our current system (shame on us but no security problems with 8 for us). Is 9.1 really that much insecure? I took a look at the isc homepage and did not find any security warnings for 9.1 but for 8.2. I will take a closer look at bind 8.2.3 now. But I have already spend some hours on it without succes during the glibc-2.2 move. achim~ > > > --Jerry > > name: Jerry Alexandratos || Open-Source software isn't a > phone: 703.599.6023 || matter of life or death... > email: jerry@thehutt.org || ...It's much more important > || than that! > > _______________________________________________ > gentoo-dev mailing list > gentoo-dev@gentoo.org > http://www.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
