I agree that the zone files should not be kept in the root partition. The ISC documentation and BoG seem to suggest /var/named as the default location, but /var/db/named also seems perfectly reasonable to me. The issue about chroot()ing BIND seems to be a distraction, since it's common or at least _reasonable_ to create a chroot()ed filesystem under /home/bind (or whereever $HOME and whatever $USER are) which resembles the layout of an un-chroot()ed named under /. -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
