The usual reason is because you're *NOT* trying to put the slave data into the slave sub-directory. Is this what you're trying to do? Master records: /var/named/chroot/var/named/ Slave records: /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves/ Simply prepend "slaves/" to the filepath in your named.conf files, like in this example: zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." IN { type slave; file "slaves/192.168.1.db"; masters { 192.168.1.2 port 53; }; }; -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
