That would explain the prob w/ the zone file but not the weird /etc/named.conf. I'm in the RH300 class this week and I spoke w/ the trainer and he said RH doesn't reccomend using redhat-config-bind yet as it's 'too buggy' at this time. Best to use the command line as usual ;) Thanks Scot, Kevin > On Sat, 2003-01-18 at 15:59, Kevin Brouelette wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I haven't seen this on this list since I've been here a week or so, > > I've been using testing redhats bind-config tool and it has caused > > me a nervous > > breakdown until today.
