hi matthew,
i found an in-depth post you wrote re mtree yesterday ( 07july ),
but i figured it was over my head in resetting anything i might need
to reset. i was going to write you offlist. decided to ask the
entire list.

i was using bind98 rather than the earlier bind9 which is out of
date. but bind98 gave me troubles with the rndc.key and other, so i
chose to go back with what worked. --first thing is to get this
working with the older bind9. FWIW, both bind9's given me the same
error and failure. i have walked thru the named script to the point
where it creates the symlink. regardless, i cannot understand the
error and failure messages. i only know that my kill -9 and my
initialization "by hand" work.
