I just tried that from /etc: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 Jul 9 11:18 namedb -> /var/named/etc/namedb lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20 Jul 9 11:17 rndc.key -> /etc/namedb/rndc.key and I find the same warnings/complainnts as earlier. The good news, still, is that bin9 works. But I still get a lookup error from the -questions list in /var/log/maillog, so nothing is getting thru to the list from here at thought.org. FWIW: Yesterday, I got the latest 7.3 upgrade and compiled it. I habe NOT yet installed anything new because the last thing i want to do is lose my own link with the "real world" ..... :-) * 0.5 your thoughts what I should try next, please? gary > > > >Jul 8 20:39:37 ethic named[84090]: couldn't add command channel > >127.0.0.1#953: file not found > >Jul 8 20:39:37 ethic named[84090]: none:0: open: /etc/rndc.key: > >file not found > >Jul 8 20:39:37 ethic named[84090]: couldn't add command channel > >::1#953: file not found > >Jul 8 20:39:37 ethic named[84090]: the working directory is not > >writable > >Jul 8 20:39:37 ethic named[84090]: running > > > > This, after I added your named_flags line into /etc/rc.conf. > > Where I get lost is *what* gives me that "none:0" lines?? > > I see the same or worse err when I drop in bind98.
