But in a slightly different fassion. Linking files and directories can be messy and is effectivly "hacking" the problem. You should recompile a new version. try this; 1. Download the latest stable bind 8.2.X from http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ 2. unzip the file with tar -xzvf bind-src* 3. in the ports directory there is a freebsd section. 4. in Makefile.set you can define all the compilation variables such as bin location. Descriptions are in the INSTALL file under the src directory. 5. I sent mine to check the /etc directory for the named.conf file, /usr/local/sbin for named bins. /usr/libexec for named-xfer. It works well. A also updated the man files by downloading the docs and running make install from the /doc/man directory Also check out the procmon utility on http://netclub.chinascape.cn.net/sa/htmfiles/0405/x0018.htm this is good for ensuring that DNS will always be working. As this flavour of unix does not use an inittab file. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
