It means that Netscape has misconfigured some of their nameservers. A "lame" DNS server is one that's supposed to have definitive information about (i.e., be "authoritative for") a domain but doesn't. In this case, "named" discovered, while resolving the host name "toolbar.gtoolbar.netscape.com", that *EVERY* host that was supposed to be authoritative for the domain "gtoolbar.netscape.com" wasn't. This new-fangled InterWeb is *full* of people who can't run their name servers properly, so these errors are pretty common. If you don't want to see these error messages, you should be able to add a clause like: logging { category lame-servers { null; }; }; to your "named.conf" file. The format might be different for you version of BIND, so look it up first. >From a security point of view, these errors probably aren't significant. Theoretically, they could indicate that something fishy was going on with a particular domain's name servers, but in practice many, many "legitimate" servers have this type of misconfiguration. -- Kevin Buhr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
