maradns-1.4.13-2.mga4.i586.rpm

Here is a partial list of people who have provided assistance:
<p>
Floh has generously set up a FreeBSD 4, FreeBSD 6, and Mac OS X system so
that I can port MaraDNS to more platforms.
<p>
Albert Lee has provided countless bug reports, and, nicely enough, patches
to fix said bugs.  He has also made improvements to the code in the tcp
"zoneserver".
<p>
Franky Van Liedekerke has provided much invaluable assistance.  As just one
example, he provided invaluable assistance in getting MaraDNS to compile on
Solaris.  In addition, he has provided much valuable SQA help.
<p>
Christian Kurz, who has provided invaluable bug reports, especially 
when I had to re-implement the core hashing algorithm.
<p>
Remmy, who is providing both the web space and a mailing list 
for maradns.org.
<p>
Phil Homewood, who provided invaluable assistance with finding and fixing
bugs in the authoritative portion of the MaraDNS server.  He helped me
plug memory leaks, find uninitialized variables being used, and found a
number of bugs I was unable to find.
<p>
Albert Prats kindly provided Spanish translations for various text files.
<p>
Shin Zukeran provided a patch to recursive.c which properly makes a normal
null-terminated string from a js_string object, to send as an argument to
open() so we can get the rijndael key for the PRNG.
<p>
D Richard Felker III has provided invaluable bug reports.  By looking at his
bug reports, I have been able to hunt down and fix many problems that the
recursive nameserver had, in addition to at least one problem with the
authoritative nameserver.
<p>
Ole Tange has also given me many valuable MaraDNS bug reports.  
<p>
Florin Iucha provided a tip in the FAQ for how to compile MaraDNS on
OpenBSD.
<p>
Roy Arends (one of the BIND developers, as it turns out) found a serious 
security problem with MaraDNS, where MaraDNS would answer answers, and 
pointed it out to me.  
<p>
Code used as the basis for the psudo-random-number generator was written
by Vincent Rijmen, Antoon Bosselaers, and Paulo Barreto.  I appreciate 
these programmers making the code public domain, which is the only license 
under which I can add code to MaraDNS under.  
<p>
Ross Johnson and others have made a Win32 port of the Pthreads library;
this has made a native win32 port of MaraDNS possible.  
<p>
I also appreciate the work of Dr. Brian Gladman and Fritz Schneider,
who have both written independent implementations of AES from which I 
obtained test vectors.  With the help of their hard work, I was able to
discover a subtle security problem that previous releases of MaraDNS
had.
