It took me a second to figure out how to keep named going, now that it = has been removed from base, and since I couldn't find anything on the = lists or in the handbook, here's a quick how to. First, after make installworld, your 9-stable /usr/sbin/named is still = there, so your current configuration will continue to work without = issue. Only when you make delete-old will the old binaries be removed. = In preparation for that: Install a suitable bind port (i.e. dns/bind99), then adjust rc.conf to = tell the /etc/rc.d/named start script to start the named from = /usr/local: named_program=3D"/usr/local/sbin/named" And that's it. To be on the safe side, use = /usr/local/sbin/named-checkconf to check your config files before making = the switch. Stefan --=20 Stefan Bethke Fon +49 151 14070811
