Sir
Thanks for the advice. I did read the release notes several times before posting the question, and did not figure out the answers from those notes. So, that's why I asked for elaboration.

If you only install bind it's ok, if you also install bind-chroot bind is executed inside the chrootened environment in /var/named/chroot. So you have to put the configuration file to /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf and the zonefiles inside /var/named/chroot/var/named/var/named(/slaves). > > I wonder if this could be explained, maybe even in the release notes.
Did you read them???
Quote from the release notes:
"The BIND nameserver has had its security tightened. The /var/named/ directory is no longer owned by "named", but rather by "root". Slave zone files should now be stored in the new /var/named/slaves/ directory, which is owned by "named". In addition, a new bind-chroot package makes it possible to run the named daemon in a chroot() "jail" (located in /var/named/chroot/) for greater security."
So please be so kind as to read the release notes next time before you post a question like this.
