First - I appreciate all the answers you've given on this. Thank you.
It would seem that I may have munged things in my unknowledgeable exuberance.
I discovered that my original named.conf had been symlinked to the chroot one
in my default installation. It had been converted to a regular file when I
tried to edit it in some early stage of this process. The statements that I
tried to alter were the controls entries. I've got all this straightened out,
and now things are different, not working still, but for a different reason.
If I try to restart named I get the following after a Ctl-c because it fails
to be able to stop it:
[root@viewridgeproductions2 etc]# service named restart
Stopping named: [FAILED]
Starting named:
Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:33: missing ';' before 'zone'
[FAILED]
That line starts the following:
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
I'm not sure now, where that entry came from. I didn't put it in there
consciously, but, there it is - I guess it is choking on the period, but my
first read of man named.conf doesn't tell me anything. I'm not sure where to
look next.
