Hi,
I have downloaded and compiled with all defaults bind 9.3.1 from isc.org
sources to test on local test network before installing on main system.
The program is installed in /usr/local.
When I start named using /usr/local/sbin/named -u named the logs show it
starts ok and dig <hostname> produces expected output but if I ping
<hostname> for the same host I get "unknown host". Obviously I have
missed something but I can't see what (need stronger glasses?).
Can anyone help? I've attached output from /var/log/messages plus dig
and ping results also my named.conf, nsswitch.conf and local forward and
reverse zone files.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil
