OK,
I am trying to set up a second server which is going to have Master
Zones and Slave Zones so must be a full nameserver not a caching-nameserver.
I did a complete virgin install of FC 6 and then did a
yum install bind*
I then went into /etc looking for named.conf, all I could find was a
caching-nameserver.conf.
The caching-nameserver.conf contained a comment line that said to use
system-config-bind to create a named.conf.
A quick whatis system-config shows that there is no system-config-bind
command in FC 6.
Being a rookie enough to have never seen a full nameserver named.conf I
have no idea how to proceed from here.
Help!!!

This is actually from an RHEL 4.4 box that is the nameserver for my
domain but:
rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/named.conf
caching-nameserver-7.3-3
Also of interest though are:
rpm -qa | grep bind
bind-9.2.4-24.EL4
bind-utils-9.2.4-24.EL4
ypbind-1.17.2-8
bind-libs-9.2.4-24.EL4
bind-chroot-9.2.4-24.EL4
bind-chroot does the magic of putting named in a chroot jail. FC
versions may differ but I would be surprised if anything else changed.
You don't need (or want) ypbind for a nameserver; it just shows up with
the grep.
Cheers,
Dave
