Sorry to hijack, but I am experiencing the same problem. I have been
installing FC6 on a bunch of servers, and did not elect to install BIND
during the initial install. I installed bind-9.3.3rc3 (which appears to
force the install of bind-chroot, without saying it will do so, though I
do want the package...) and bind-libs. The service and directories seem
to get installed and created, but none of the default configuration or
zone files get installed. I've tried uninstalling, removing the
directories, and reinstalling, and still the same result. Without
named.conf, the service can not start. Installing caching-nameserver
creates a caching-nameserver conf file and appropriate zone files, but I
am trying to set up an authoritative name server. I could manually
create all of the basic zones, etc. but this seems a bit more work than
should be called for. I have configured DNS numerous times before on
previous FC versions, so this isn't my first attempt at this process,
but we all forget a step here or there over time ;-) Am I missing
something here? Mark, have you found a solution?
Thanks,
Steven Stromer

The files in /var/named/chroot are not all installed. Is there something wrong
with the RPM in updates, or is this a misconfiguration issue on my side?
