i don't feel under any obligation to act as a dictionary for lazy or stupid people, however earlier in this thread i already gave two examples of other DNS-related packages within debian that use the word 'zonefile'. in the description, no less. i guess you must have missed that because i failed to highlight the significance with an enormous flashing neon sign for the congenitally stupid. well here it is, just for you: <BLINK> Package: autodns-dhcp autodns-dhcp uses bind 8's dynamic update features to update a zonefile Package: zone-file-check Filename: pool/main/z/zone-file-check/zone-file-check_1.01-3_all.deb Description: Syntax-checker for BIND zonefiles This script is used for syntax-checking your zone-files after a of zonefiles, but also if you just want to check a single file. </BLINK> any search on google or other search engines will reveal many thousands of uses of the word 'zonefile'. like i said, it's in common usage in the field and has been for years. but that couldn't possibly be evidence, could it? after all, that would mean i was right and that would be embarrassing to admit to, wouldn't it? > [blah blah blah] > All procedures were followed. To the letter. So, that obviously means that > the bugs are incorrect. Not. there's more to a bug report than following procedure to the letter. relevance and correctness are more important attributes. the bug reports i complained about were incorrect because neither "zonefile" nor "usenet" are in any way spelling errors. and frankly, i don't give a damn whether you or anyone else agrees or disagrees. it's not in the least bit important. now please shut up and stop wasting everyone's time with this tedious thread. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fabricati Diem, PVNC. -- motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch
