Simply reinstalling up2date wouldn't fix it. Setting you system back to a virgin state without any bind file just check the content of your installed named packages with "rpm -qp $PACKAGE", uninstall the package and delete each file that was not created by the package itself but by you for the package. Deleting an RPM will not delete custom files. Afterwards reinstall the needed packages. If you broke up2date by trying to register with RHN just edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources and comment "up2date default" at the top of the file. this was mentioned before here on the list. Check the list archive for information please. Alexander As I stated, it's the include line in named.custom. I did remove all custom files and that didn't help, besides, when I tried to add zones with redhat-config-bind (after reinstalling the packages) it didn't recreate the chroot environment that I had when I realized that bind wasn't working. You seem kind of snippy. Searching the archive for "up2date default" brings up over 1900 hits. It seems a little unreasonable to expect one to sit and browse through all of those postings. Reinstalling Fedora takes less time. I didn't try to register with RHN, up2date did and the rest is history.
