What else than running make-localhost did you need in order to start a caching-only named? The default named.boot file does exactly this, and nothing more. I agree that perhaps sysinstall could offer setting up the named framework as an option in the network setup screen. Jordan? Despite of running make-localhost, it could also ask for forwarders, and whether the named should be caching-only. That's all you can do in a generic setup. Still enough of a framework if someone wants to add more primary or secondary zones later. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
