[sfrancis@eldwist:~]$ man svc
No manual entry for svc

[well, why would you want a man page when you can BROWSE HIS WEBSITE every
time you have a question on usage or syntax or whatever? Obviously nobody
will ever be in a situation in which Internet access is unavailable, so
including the traditional local documentation, as is the standard across the
UNIX world, would just be SILLY!]

'nuff said.

[in order to run a simple dns cache, DJB insists you create not 1, not 2, but
_three_ root-level directories on your system. I can't think of _any_ other
software that requires one to create directories in the root (/). It's
basically unheard of in UNIX, aside from djbware. Sure, you can change this
behavior. It just irritates me that he gripes about UNIX and the attitudes of
UNIX developers, and then proceeds to force his users to go through all sorts
of contortions (the gist seems to be, "Since there is no single set of
standards that is consistent across every single UNIX platform in existence,
I will create yet another set of standards (my own) and force people to adopt
them if they wish to use my software. This will promote consistency among
UNIX systems." Yeah, that really helps clear up the problem of system
interoperability, Dan.) Yeah, yeah, you can modify the source, ignore his
attitude, etc. etc. - I run his software already, it's good code, I like it
quite a bit. His attitude just irritates me. And if you're still reading, you
either agree with me, or are looking for details on which to wax pedantic.
Please spare me, I've heard all the arguments on both sides. I will probably
continue to run djbware, and continue to complain about its author. This is my
right. :)]
