Assuming we're already in the chroot, or we're not chrooting: /var/named/ zone files that are set once, or manually altered. /var/named/dynamic/ zone files that are automatically managed, such as by a DHCP server (NB: The DNS server manages them, communicating with the DHCP server, the DHCP server doens't directly manipulate the files). /var/named/slaves/ zone files that will be externally managed by a master DNS server. I seem to recall the data subdirectory being a location that the server may dump data to (e.g. statistics). Protective software, like SELinux, enforces the use of some of those directories (the DNS server will not be allowed to write slave zone files to anything other than the slaves subdirectory, etc.). You'll probably find more and more segregation of things, as program authors get more stringent about security, seeing as things like SELinux make use of file location for setting rules, but zone files have variable names depending on the zones, but directory names for all of them do not change. Have a look at <http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/FAQ.php>, skip down to the part that mentions SELinux. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.10-86.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
