[-- Attachment #1 --] Gosh, Thanks for the timely reply! I *did* perform run this when setting up bind just now: > # ln -sf /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc /var/run/ndc But I thought that somehow running the command allows me to side-step that issue. Oh well.., I figure that including a command in root's cron is the best way to accomplish this. Do I need to include that symlink command in the cron job, as in: /bin/ln -sf /etc/namedb/var/run/ndc /var/run/ndc Thanks again for your quick response Ceri, hope to hear from you again on what I've put here.
