Yeah, but don't DNS servers need to have the correct version of libc? Don't DNS server developers want to avoid porting to different linux systems? Wouldn't DNS developers want a proven packaging method to install on "LSB compliant" systems? The same argument for having an LSB exists for every application developed by a third party, not just GUI apps. -Steve -- To send email to me, send it to: schveiguy aht yahoo dot com.
