Speed internet browsing via a local domain name server
Authored by: John Strung on Oct 22, '06 12:38:10PM

This tip is great, but I think there are a couple of typos and ambiguities in section 3. Perhaps the author can comment.

In particular, there should be no # sign in the line
#!/bin/sh

The author should also make it clear that the line:

$ touch StartupParameters.plist; pico -w StartupParameters.plist

is to be typed into terminal and is not part of the text to be typed into the Pico editor. Also, the $ sign should be a # sign.

Similarly, the author should make it clear that the line

$ chmod +x BIND

is to be typed into terminal, and not into the Pico editor and the $ sign should be a # sign.

If the author agrees with my comments, I wonder if the original hint could not be cleaned up as I suspect people for whom this hint did not work were misled by the typos above.

Of course there should be. It's a shebang.
