Can not. Silly typo ;)
BTW, I have running bind running chroot()'ed in /var/named (where
OpenBSD puts it). Can we now also put /var/named and all subdirs needed
into FreeBSD? We can also add '-t /var/named' flag into commented out
rc.conf startup for bind. I could supply more info to someone who can
commit this into the tree...
% tail /var/named/var/log/named-noise.log
25-Jul-1999 04:11:16.730 security: info: chrooted to /var/named
25-Jul-1999 04:11:16.871 security: info: group = bind
25-Jul-1999 04:11:16.872 security: info: user = bind
% ps ax | grep named
113 ?? Is 0:00.02 /var/named/named -u bind -g bind -t /var/named
