Fedora Users — Re: BIND Woes A Second Thought

Tim,

I hate to be pendantic but, if you will look at your previous postings you will see that you were replying to me.

Obviously those previous posts did not impart enough information to solve the problem.

That would be the obvious reason to post the question again prefaced with the fact that I had started from a virgin install.

It should be fairly obvious that I have at least one domain up and functional based on my e-mail address. So although a total rookie to Linux I am not completely clueless.

I am trying to leave the Dark Side (MicroShaft) due to this same type of attitude.

So just do me a favor, the next time I post a question, do not respond.

If I have offended anyone else on this e-mail chain I offer apologies in advance but a pet peeve of mine has just been stomped on big time.

If I had wanted this, I would have stayed over on the Dark Side!

If this means I get kicked off this this list, so be it!

It can be all three, at once...

I did a complete virgin install of FC 6 and then did a
yum install bind*

I then went into /etc looking for named.conf,  all I could find was a 
caching-nameserver.conf.

The caching-nameserver.conf contained a comment line that said to use 
system-config-bind to create a named.conf.

A quick whatis system-config shows that there is no system-config-bind 
command in FC 6.

Install it, as well...  Or just make up your own named.conf file, by
hand, and have it "include" the other config file.

By the way, they're actually in /var/named/chroot/etc/ not just /etc/.
The /etc/ directory just has symlinks pointing to the files in the
chroot location.

If you go back through the list archive, you'll see some postings I've
made about this, this month.  They're in threads about BIND, or name
server.  The archive link is the URI below, in the list signature.  That
URI is not just for unsubscribing.
