Is there a BIND update for RaQ2s yet? Last time I looked, they had only done
the 3 and 4. (Do these hacks send Intel binaries, or do they actually build
themselves from source?)
Logically, for us who use RaQ2s, a good level of protection should be gained
by running named as a non-root user as BIND exploits then won't be able to
replace system files.
I did build BIND 9, but it doesn't appear to work on my system. I'll have to
read the documentation more thoroughly to find out why.
