Both top-posting and failing to trim quoted material to the absolutely minimum necessary size are considered "bad netiquette" on this list. Having said that, you can check your /var/log/messages for interesting bits sent there by the named process as it starts: # tail -f /var/log/messages | grep named Then, restart your named and watch for interesting output. For extra bonus points, you can add a special "named" entry in your /etc/syslog.conf file: !named *.* /var/log/named.log which will direct only the messages from named to a special log file. Remember to restart syslogd after you add this to syslog.conf and then use tail -f on the named.log file to watch for named output. Then, after having all the necessary information from a named reload, you may have more hints and/or clues about what's wrong. - Giorgos
