• Why this talk?

I've been using DJB's software for over five years. This includes QMail, DJBDNS, PublicFile and daemon-tools. I have not once been concerned regarding security or have complained about the speed and/or efficiency of how these tools have worked for me. I have not had my phone ring at 3am stating that a crucial system built with this software has malfunctioned. It is simply great software. However, getting these tools running can require some guidance. This talk will show you how to get a secure, simple setup of DJBDNS running in a matter of minutes and cover most of what I view as the important details. Staying within the scope of a the simple DNS setups is the scope of this document and of this talk.
