Experimented with that myself and yes I had to create a chroot directory, and had to install bind with makefile.set altered with the dest-dir set to the chroot. I had alot of trouble with ndc being able to make connections, but come to find out that ndc restart just kills and makes a new process instead of rehasing the configs. It'd be nice if there was a port that asked u for a chroot dir and then set it all up for ya :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: Gene Harris [SMTP:zeus@tetronsoftware.com] > Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2000 9:01 AM > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: chroot option for named > > I have been playing around with the -t option for named. > I created a testuser and testgrp along with a directory > /tmp/named to try out the options.
