I found this in /etc/defaults/rc,conf: named_enable="NO" # Run named, the DNS server (or NO). named_program="/usr/sbin/named" # Path to named, if you want a different one. named_conf="/etc/namedb/named.conf" # Path to the configuration file #named_flags="" # Use this for flags OTHER than -u and -c named_uid="bind" # User to run named as named_chrootdir="/var/named" # Chroot directory (or "" not to auto-chroot it) named_chroot_autoupdate="YES" # Automatically install/update chrooted # components of named. See /etc/rc.d/named. named_symlink_enable="YES" # Symlink the chrooted pid file named_wait="NO" # Wait for working name service before exiting named_wait_host="localhost" # Hostname to check if named_wait is enabled named_auto_forward="NO" # Set up forwarders from /etc/resolv.conf named_auto_forward_only="NO" # Do "forward only" instead of "forward first” So I changed the path to /usr/local/sbin/named But now I get: $ /etc/rc.d/named start Starting named. /etc/rc.d/named: WARNING: failed to start named But there is nothing in /var/log/messages -- The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
