	Of course, anything from Sun with the name "in.named" is going to 
be based on a very old version of BIND which is almost certainly 
vulnerable to any number of attacks, and should be upgraded with the 
latest currently available (either 8.2.4 from the BIND 8 tree, or 
9.1.2 from the BIND 9 tree).
