 I agree on this point. We did not purchase it, we should not expect it.
 I think a majority of the disgruntlement/frustration is on features that
 were included but, do not work or have bugs that do not have patches
 provided in a timely manner.

Agree...BUT we shoudl also expect that  updates, like the last bind update 
REALLY instals when the gui says it is...

DANG today one of our machines got hacked...3 days after we rebuilt it

It started when we could not add new users ( passwd file is locked)..removing 
the locks in  /etc/locks did nto work..after poking around yep    EVEN though 
the gui says we installed the latest bind patch.... it REALLY did not install

from now on use rpm -QA |grep bind to see what version your running

good luck     ( how the hell am I going to say to the customers.....we got 
our pants ripped of again...)

One thing we are doing now...NO MORE bind on ANY cobalt....we have a few HP's 
where we can run the dns...one machine for the DNS..hell let them hackinto 
there....no website will be in jeaopardy then....we can ven take the DNS box 
ofline  anduse the 2ndary while we rebuild, they wont know
