Hi, I decided to start a new thread as now, I'm getting other errors. Everything worked under FC1. I had to change my directory to "/" from "/var/named" It just would not work, gave me permission errors. Now I'm getting "could not configure roots hints from "named.ca" file not found. Below is my named.conf file. // generated by named-bootconf.pl controls { inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey; }; }; // Define address range for the local domain. acl lan { 192.168.100/24; 127.0.0.1; }; options { directory "/"; /* * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source * directive below.
