    Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Whois acting funny in FreeBSD

    Today I've noticed something weird on all my FreeBSD boxes. When I
    whois
    domains like msn.com, microsoft.com, aol.com and others I get stuff
    like:

    $ whois msn.com

    Whois Server Version 1.3

    Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
    with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
    for detailed information.

    MSN.COM.TW
    MSN.COM.SUCKS.FIND.CRACKZ.WITH.SEARCH.GULLI.COM
    MSN.COM

    My linux boxes seem to work fine. When I query a specific whois server
    such as whois.networksolutions.com it works fine also. Is anyone else
    getting anything like this? I'm thinking maybe the default whois server

    that the whois program queries has been compromised? I'm not sure what
    the
    default whois server is.

    -Chris
