The problem I'm having is that it *looks* like the nameserver Sun is distributing is pre-4.8 and I wanted to use BIND4.8 and take advantage of the newer features and the bug fixes. However, I do not yet have sources (on order...) for SunOS4.0 and just bringing up the new nameserver doesn't cut it. I *believe* Sun has interfaced the libraries to YP and that they do something non-standard through that.... And I *don't* run YP at all. So I thought the easiest thing to do was to just port the 4.3BSD sources over - compiling them against my now separate nameserver library..... But it isn't that easy; at least not with the version of the 4.3BSD sources I have from the original distribution tape.... The Sun binaries definitely do not appear to work with BIND4.8... Just looking to see if anyone else has a similar problem and maybe a solution :-).... ---Torben
