Rather, I'm talking about the initial installation of djbdns. According to djb's docs, I have to first install his daemontools and ucspi-tcp packages in order to get the djbdns stuff installed, and I don't want to do either of those installations. I tried to do install djbdns a while ago with only the runit utils in place, and it failed (sadly, I don't have the error log any more). But now, after having typed the preceding part of this reply, I decided to try installing djbdns a second time, just in case (again, without any other djb utils in place ... only runit). And this time, it worked. Therefore, I must have done something wrong with that earlier install, which means that my question here is moot. Thanks to you and also to Vincent Danet and Wayne Marshall for your kind help. >> Does anyone know how to install dnscache to run under runit _without_ >> having djb's utilities mess up my runit-based symlinks? > > You shouldn't need setuidgid or pgrphack to run dnscache. > -- Lloyd Zusman ljz@asfast.com God bless you.
