After hearing claims that 9.1.0 was harder to configure and then hearing it was quite straight forward, I decided to try this myself. Using the above make command for bind9, I tried the latest and greatest. It compiled cleanly, but it looks for named.conf in a place I hadn't considered: /usr/etc/named.conf. What option did I miss? after "/usr/sbin/named -u bind", this was found in /var/log/messages: starting BIND 9.1.0 -u bind /usr/etc/named.conf: open: file not found loading configuration: file not found exiting (due to fatal error) Also of note: the -g option is gone in 9. -- Dan Langille pgpkey - finger dan@unixathome.org | http://unixathome.org/finger.php To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
