The usual tendency for ports though is they either install their things in /usr/local/* or /usr/X11R6/* in case USE_X_PREFIX is specified in the ports Makefile. In your case it's 100% certain that the /usr/local/* files are the Bind9 files ... with a rdnc.conf.sample put in /usr/local/etc/ (Documentation will be in /usr/local/share/doc/bind9) On default if you simply specify named_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf rc.network will start up your bind executable on system boot. If you check /etc/defaults/rc.conf you'll notice there are a few more named-related rc.conf variables you can set. One of these being named_program. I think if you would put the following line into your /etc/rc.conf would make FreeBSD start up your freshly installed Bind9 instead of the default bind8 that comes with your base-system. named_program="/usr/local/sbin/named" I think you will have to consult the Bind9-port's documentation as to where the port install of Bind9 will expect it's configuration. As i said above already .. i have not ever tried this myself. But according to my understanding of FreeBSD's rc and ports systems, this should at least answer your question on how to get FreeBSD to start up the new Bind9 ... and which files on your system will belong to which version of Bind. -- Pascal Hofstee <daeron@shadowmere.student.utwente.nl> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
