Hi Marc, why is it suggested to run `named` within its own chroot? For security reasons? This can be achieved much easier with systemd native options. Something like `/etc/systemd/system/named.service` ```ini [Unit] Description=Internet domain name server After=network.target [Service] Type=notify User=named DynamicUser=true ExecStart=/usr/bin/named -f -c /etc/named/named.conf ExecReload=/usr/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID NoExecPaths=/ ExecPaths=/usr/bin/named /usr/bin/kill AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE ProtectSystem=full ProtectHome=yes RuntimeDirectory=%p StateDirectory=%p CacheDirectory=%p LogsDirectory=%p ConfigurationDirectory=%p [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` Make sure `directory` in `/etc/named/named.conf` points to `/var/lib/named`. Further security considerations may apply. Testing is necessary. BR Silvio
