There is plenty of info on problems when named is running, but not when it will not start. I did get it to start after boot with #named (su to root without - option) It started and ran as demonstrated with ps -aux. But the listing was just user (me as mortal user) and named as process (not as a path to an executable, as is normal for other processes). The console messages at start up gives me configuration file not found errors. The files are there. /etc/namedb/named.conf, rndc.key /etc/namedb is a link to /var/named/etc/namedb where the config files are. It is set up to be a slave server for four domains. How can I go about debugging this situation? My suspicions are ownership and permissions are wrong, but how, and how to fix; ?? Thanks in advance Jeff k
