Mac OS X 4.6.1 - follow up

Re: Mac OS X 4.6.1 - follow up

This computer was configured from scratch with 10.3 and then updated to
10.3.2 and then QDNS was installed for the first time.

Which file do I need to swap into where? In my troubles yesterday, I
did have to uninstall and reinstall and I was going back and forth
between 4.6 and 4.6.1 at times trying to get everything working.

PS. The support site doesn't appear to have any mac os x stuff after
3.5.1 for installing and uninstalling, plus all the commands for shell
access were unrecognized.
