Instead, the system comes with pre-installed : /etc/namedb/master/localhost-forward.db and .../localhost-reverse.db : zone files and the appropriate configuration shown in the example : named.conf file. Basically, ignore the paragraph in the handbook that : says 'run make-localhost' and nowadays base your named.conf on the : sample configuration supplied with the system rather than the examples : shown in the handbook. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I'll try to handle this. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
