Bind Error

[MikeDawg]

The stable kernel from kernel.org puts out this message.  It is a
matter of having BSD compatiblity compiled into the kernel (or as a
module, and enabling that module).  I think the kernel module name is
compat or bsdcompat, or something along those lines (don't have kernel
docs in front of me at the moment).

Thanks

Mike
