To whom it may concern:
I posted this on the comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc newsgroup, but thought
that I would mail it to you folks too. Please look at this and let me
know what I have done wrong.
Thanx.
Hello, All,
I am trying to set up a DNS on my 10base-T network. The computers that
I am trying to use this for are 2 SCO UnixWare and 6 FreeBSD 2.2.5
servers. The computer that will be the DNS is FreeBSD 2.2.5. I have
tried reading the man page for named, but I could not get it to work by
reading that. What I have set up now is pretty much straight out of
Greg Lehey's The Complete FreeBSD. Here is a screen shot of the error
message that I get when I 'tail -20 /var/log/message' after I
initialize named with 'named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot':

I am doing this through a telnet session to the server in question. Is
that OK? What puzzles me is the fact that I am following the example
almost as it is writtin in the book. Here is my named.boot file:
directory /etc/namedb
; type domain source host/file backup
file
cache .
named.root
primary 0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA localhost.rev
primary rcsal.com db.rcsal.com
primary 120.5.135.IN-ADDR.ARPA rcsal-reverse
And here is my db.rcsal.com file:
rcsal.com. IN SOA samuel.rcsal.com. mike.rcsal.com.

This is really getting to me. Can someone give me some hints? It is
difficult to understand why I am having these troubles.
Thanks for the help
Michael
