Trying my hands at contributing and hacking FreeBSD again.

This is an adaption of a patch from OpenBSD that adds nic-se as one of the databases whois knows about.

Could someone look at the patch and see if it's an ok patch? Also is this something we should add to the system?

This sounds like a welcome addition except for the fact that I'm wondering what will happen if 20 other countries need to have their servers added to whois. We cannot really use the same strategy without adopting a bigger alphabet :-)

Wouldn't a more scalable solution be to accept the -s flag followed by a country code like so: whois -s SE whois -s BE whois -s DE whois -s NL ?

The '-s' would than stand for 'server'.

Cheers, Jeroen
