Talk:Named (computing)

=Redirect= "named" has redirected to the name article since Dec. 2004. I do believe that redirecting to BIND makes a lot more sense, as "named" in this context is an actually significant label, not just a word-form redirect of the "name" noun. There's been a suggestion to this effect on the discussion page for "name" for two weeks, and no objections. I'm going to go ahead and do it. John Sheu (talk) 17:04, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I fixed this "obvious incorrect indirect" pointing it back to name before I saw that apparently this change was intentional. I still think it is wrong to redirect to bind for the simple reason that every single wiki link (except the disambiguation page) was using it in the context of the noun.  While BIND typically runs as a daemon with the name "named", there is nothing requiring that name and most people seem to just call it "BIND" anyway.   I could possibly see switching the redirect to the disambiguation page as an alternative, but I really don't think BIND is what people expect when they type in "named".  Wrs1864 (talk)
