Hi there all, A slight problem that someone may be able to explain to me... I have (successfully) installed bind-9.1.0 on a SuSE platform under kernel 2.2.14 and bind-8.2.3-REL on two others. After tuning all zone files, and changing rcnamed, all works well... BUT... in the /var/log/messages I get ONE and only one error - set maximum open files to -1: permission denied In the bind8 to bind9 migration notes, there is no reference to max_open_files and in http://www.isc.org likewise no reference. Please anyone - what is the "option" if any or is this a ./configure issue that I have missed!! Kind regards from a sweltering Melbourne, Bruce. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
