Secure Bind script

[joq]

I wrote a "securing bind [antioffline.com]" script once since I was too lazy to update 20+ DNS servers when that recent BIND advisory came out in late January/February for those who are as lazy as I am. Some params need to be tweaked slightly to your sys but its functional, and again when you don't want to go from machine to machine to machine you could write a quick expect script do bang it all out for you.

I like zines overall although for the most part its all been said and done elsewhere, as for the instances of showing someone how to do something, it sure comes in handy for those unfamiliar with the territory, and also keeps our minds refreshed. But in all fairness they're definitely a good thing to have for those questions always asked, "How do I $INSERT_QUESTION_HERE", and make it less threatening for newer users to become more familiar with running their OS.

Wow, Slashdot is starting to REALLY love BSD, considering this story was just posted TWO stories ago [slashdot.org] and by your resident BSD expert, AilleCat, no less. (Hi T!)
