And, pray tell me, what other of DJB's program's start with djb ?

Deafening silence.

Ugh...yes...Two (djbfft and djbdns)

djbdns was originally called dnscache...because Dan wrote a dnscache 
program...well duh...
When TinyDNS was added, there was a massive thread about why it was still 
called dnscache, how it wasn't descriptive, gave the wrong 
impression...yada...yad...yada....

Finally, Dan said (tongue in cheek), djbdns.

I don't care what it's called, but djbos is fine.  Credit for what he has 
achieved.  He would have to be in Linus's position though.  Deciding what is, 
and what is not good code.
