Hi; I am getting the following messaged when named attempts to start at system startup: could not configure root hints from 'named.root': file not found loading configuration: file not found So what is supposed to tell this script where to find these files? (in FreeBSD rc script context: i looked over the script named in rc.d dir, but could not glean anything from it) They do exist in the proper places (assuming that "loading configuration" means it is trying to read named.conf, or perhaps rndc.conf). named version 9.x on FreeBSD 6.2 Extra info: This is a secondary name server for four domains. It was running on a laptop that died suddenly of hard drive failure. It was running Yellow Dog Linux. I've had to reconstruct the server on the present machine and I was not able to salvage the rndc.key file and rndc.conf from that machine. Thank you in advance; Jeff k
