And, since they're commercial organizations using BIND in a commercial aspect, I think they can cough up the money.That's precisely the point. Even if they wanted to, ISC is saying they can't. They're choosing who they think are important, or "critical". I'm curious as to why ISC considers Sun, HP, etc more important to get the information to Worldcom, Cable & Wireless, etc. Is it because Sun, etc pay ISC licensing fees to distribute the software?
How many of you use BIND in a commercial environment? How many of you actually contribute money back to the authors of BIND? Its all fine and good saying "When there's a security problem in BIND, I want to know and I want to know now!" but guys, if you want this wonderful level of support, either cough up some money to your software providers, or write it yourself. I might not agree with how Paul is going about it, but I understand his problems. 2c, Adrian -- Adrian Chadd "Romance novel?" <adrian () creative net au> "Girl Porn." - http://www.sinfest.net/d/20010202.html
