What I actually do in practice is to kill the old named, restart the new one, check the logs to make sure things are functioning properly, then reboot the machine. I was trying to keep the instructions to the basics, but perhaps I should have been more detailed in this area. In any case, my apologies for the unreadable version of the instructions that got sent to this list. The one to -questions was fine, but when I forwarded the one to this list I was in a hurry to get out of town, and pushed the wrong button. If anyone is not on -questions and needs a copy, mail me and I'll be glad to send one. Good luck, Doug The man who fears nothing, loves nothing.
