Hi,

I pasted the into the file the logging statement, but no file is
generated.  Here is the new named.conf file:

_______________________________________________________
logging
      {
       channel my_file {
		file "/var/named/named.run";
		severity debug;
		print-time yes;
	};
       category default {my_file;};
       category panic {my_file;};
       category packet {my_file;};
       category eventlib {my_file;};
       category queries {my_file;};
      };

options {
        directory "/var/named";

};

zone "." {
        type hint;
	file "root.hints";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
	type master;
	file "pz/127.0.0";
};

zone "malichi.net" {
	type master;
	file "pz/malichi.net";
};
------------------------------------------------------

Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?  Thanks.
