Thanks for all your responses, still no joy, the following are from "tail -f /var/log/messages" command: Starting BIND 9.2.2-P3 -u named -t /var/named/chroot Using 1 CPU Loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Named startup succeeded No IPv6 interfaces found Listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 172.16.1.21#53 Command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Zone aha/IN: loading master file aha.zone: file not found Running Named just wouldn't find the aha.zone file. This file is definitely in /var/named/chroot/var/named directory (double and triple checked). The permissions are rw-r--r-- with named as the owner and group. Also checked the /etc/sysconfig/named to make sure ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot. This thing is becoming ultra frustrating... should have stuck with RH9. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alexander Dalloz Sent: Monday, 22 December 2003 2:00 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Problems with named in Fedora Core-1 Am Di, den 23.12.2003 schrieb Sturla Holm Hansen um 02:49: > /etc/named.conf No, he is right that the named.conf resides in /var/named/chroot/etc/ If he uses the chrooted bind.

For me the chrooted named configuration works fine. I only made the zone files by hand and did not use the redhat-config tool.
