Friend of mine pointed me to this a couple weeks ago. I found it extremely helpful. After following the directions, my named started first time, no errors. It's about the only thing I've ever done that worked out quite so easy. Should you run into more problems, it might help you out a bit. http://www.psionic.com/papers/dns/dns-openbsd/ (it covers FreeBSD as well) John ----- Original Message ----- From: Gene Harris <zeus@tetronsoftware.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2000 10:00 AM 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.
