I work for a budget hosting company and there are tons of .gov domains out there, managed by people who can barley use email. So good luck trying to get that sort of person up to speed on this dns stuff when they were barley able to get front page to publish to our servers this is just one of those things thats mandated but never actually gets implemented.

So it is not complex, but not trivial either. And without consulting any documentation but your paper, I was able to set tinydns up within a half hour (after compilation and install) : mainly the time reqired to type the stuff and to check it. This is clearly a nice achievement for tinydns and your work ! Thank you very much. You were right, my copy of your patch was not correct; I began from scratch again, and everything went fine, except a small right problem for daemontools at package/run.eventd Here is my summary, from a basic Ubuntu 8.04 net install 'cli' (+- 650 MB) ------------------------ apt-get install gcc make patch libc6-dev wget http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/daemontools-0.76.tar.gz unpack and go to the base directory of daemontools cd [daemontools-dir] echo gcc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h > compile/conf-cc patch -p1 < /tmp/daemontools-eventd.patch # ------ added by me : chmod 744 package/run.eventd package/install ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hello Cory,

I found your article (LJ) so interessing that I planned to move our institution DNS to djbdns.

I use Ubuntu (8.04), and I tried to apply you patch :

patch -p1 < patch-for-ubuntu
——————————————–
patching file package/boot.eventd
patching file package/run
patch: **** malformed patch at line 39: +elif test -r /etc/inittab

Maybe it is a problem for me, but I think it is better to solve it at the source.

Have a nice day,

It will create more revenue for registries and registrars and I cannot forsee any business giving up their .com position. For newer businesses it would give the opportunity to get the name they want and differentiate themselves from their competitors by having a personalized TLD. As for your comment about making it tricky for newcomers to navigate, I see what you mean. Being able to go directly to the browser and type in a name and .com would return more choices in the search, but I am sure there are existing business, or start-ups awaiting the news and standing by to develop additional DNS capabilities and search engine capability to make the experience easy to navigate.
