AW: Failed to up BIND-9.1.3 on Solaris 8

[Peer Stefan]

Have a look at the log again:
  /etc/named.conf:744: first statement in a zone definition must be 'type'

try a configuration like this ;-)
 zone "sample999.com" in {
   type master;
   file "named.sample999.com";
 };                                   

regards,
Stefan

Hi all

I'm having problem to up BIND-9.1.3 on Solaris 8.
Attached herewith is the error log:

Aug 10 17:14:45 ikanmasin /usr/local/sbin/named[794]: [ID 866145
daemon.notice] starting BIND 9.1.3
Aug 10 17:14:45 ikanmasin /usr/local/sbin/named[794]: [ID 866145
daemon.error] /etc/named.conf:744: first statement in a zone definition must
be 'type'

daemon.crit] loading configuration: failure
Aug 10 17:14:45 ikanmasin /usr/local/sbin/named[794]: [ID 866145

/etc/named.conf :
line 743  zone "sample999.com" in {
line 744        file "named.sample999.com";
line 745        type master;
line 746  };                                   

For your information, we manage to install the software successfully and
just copied
the previous "named.conf" file to /etc and all zone files to /var/named
directory.

Can anybody help me? Thanks.
