This to me is a bugzilla-able packaging problem. And, now there are apparently more packageing errors. Installing bind did not create a default /var/named/chroot//etc/named.conf, and an attempt to start it seems to have locked up the services editor. Ahh, the 'revert' button rescusitates the editor again so I can quit normally. And yes, the doubled // above is a direct paste from the services error window. Where do I take this next?
