This is essentially what I was trying to get at :-) The proposed solution of `dig` and `host` returning "These tools can be installed through the bind-utils port, or you can use `drill`" I think would be sufficient. Having them simply disappear would be terrible, but stubs would make this possibly the least painful thing. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
