What are you using to edit the named.boot file? One of my old co-workers decided to edit named.boot with microsoft word pad and upload it, it changed the format of file, put spaces instead of tabs, really strange stuff began to happen. I allways used vi, but if this isn't the case maybe you should post your named.boot file.

I'm setting up a DNS server, and I'm having a problem with the named.boot file. I've tried different configurations that I found on the net, and I've also tried following the suggested setup under your "tutorials: Creating a mini DNS server". The problem I'm having is with the line that starts with: directory > >The way the line looks in the named.boot file is like this: > >directory /etc/namedb > >In the space between directory and /etc/namedb are 2 tabs. (I've also tried it with just a space). The error I keep getting is when I reboot the machine is: > >Doing additional network setup: named ns named[82]: /etc/namedb/named.boot:20: syntax error near directory > >If you need any more information, please let me know and I' >ll get back to you asap.
