Dear Redhat'ers I can be considered as a newbie on this bind implementation. I just made the /etc/named.conf; /var/named/example.forward; and /var/named/example.reverse on both example.forward and example.reverse, when I did service named restart the /var/log/messages logged as below : dns_rdata_fromtext: example.reverse:1: near eol: unexpected end of input : zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading master file example.reverse: unexpected end of input : dns_rdata_fromtext: example.forward:1: : unexpected end of input : zone example.com/IN: loading master file : unexpected end of input I changed the example.forward and example.revers (first line) from @ IN SOA example.com. root.example.com. ( 1; ........(cut) to @ IN SOA example.com. root.example.com. ( 1; .......(cut) Is there some kind a trick that I don't know? thx .dave Nice guys finish last. -- Leo Durocher -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
