I looked at the wrong server (one of the slaves). This is my master server (on FC4, mind you): ll /var/named/chroot/var/named/ -d drwxr-x--- 6 named named 4096 Jul 31 19:14 /var/named/chroot/var/named/ My master DNS server can write its master records, and journal files, as directed to by the DHCP server. > There's also SELinux to consider - see: > http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/FAQ.php (search for "journal" on > that page) Mine's been sitting on permissive for a long time, and is allowed to write to master files.

Not sure that I've come across an explanation for what the data directory is there for. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
