djbdns ppc?

2002-06-21 Thread Matthew Daubenspeck
I have been using djbdns for a while now, but only on the i386
platform. I got my hands on a G4 server and have loaded debian, but
cannot seem to find a djbdns-ppc version.

Any ideas?

Matthew Any ideas?

apt-get install djbdns-installer

This should download it and compile it for you.  I run it on my
PowerBook Firewire without any problems.

Good Luck.

you really should give maradns a look.  Similar goals as djbdns, but none of
the djb.

What's wrong with the djb? Maybe I am just naive :)

djb is the initials for Dan Bernstein, a well known computer programmer.  His
work on security related issues is well regarded.

The problem with djb's software is the copyright he puts them under.  Debian
does not have a ppc djbdns because the licenses on Dan's code prevent binary
distribution, you have to compile it yourself.  Many people find dealing with
djb and his software to be troublesome, others love his code.

maradns is a small dns server designed for security as well and is released
into the public domain so everyone has the right to do as they wish with it. 
The 1.0.0 release was issued this morning and should arrive in Debian soon.

Compiling it is no big deal, but does maradns perform as well as
djbdns does? I used to use Bind, which is like shooting yourself in
the face with a large cannon. However, djbdns has performed great and
been fairly perfect since I have used it...

I am running it on my home lan as an internal server and as a recursive for
external access (caching dns).  It is running on a p166, 32mb without any
complaints.
