UNIX v Win2k

[Sam Pointer]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I wonder (I'm sure some people on this list ) how many Windows
sysadmins would take kindly to configuring BIND. Would they
appreciate the need to set the permissions correctly on the various
BIND files? Would they have the patcience to sit down and "hand-roll"
a BIND config text file? Would they dismiss BIND out of hand as it
seems "too complicated and antiquated" to set up and ditch it in
favour of some GUI-fied Microsoft offering?

There are still a large number of situations where you will have to
configure (tweak in windows-terms) the registry or ini-files by hand.
