As I said, in the FAQ, they have;

>If named is invoked as "named -t /chroot/DNS" with the following named.conf 
>then "/chroot/DNS/var/named/sl" needs to be writable by the user named is

Again, it's not me complicating this but the FAQ and other things I've been 
reading don't seem to agree in paths and other things. I would have thought 
the RPM would have created the s directory if it's needed. Instead, I figured 
it was slaves since that one was created.

Also, the FAQ states;
	/chroot/DNS/var/named/sl
which is not just s nor is there a DNS directory but the named directory is 
there of course.

Are you telling me I need to create an s directory or an sl directory under 
named now?

Correct and I've been told to simply copy my files over and not to complicate 
anything, which is what I've been doing :).

I've turned it off since then so it's not in the mix.

Right, that must be it. Figured I'd count on the community so I don't spend a 
week at this. You're right, it's so wrong of me. No one is forcing you to help 
me you know. I have the BIND book, I have the FAQ, I have the Internet, I have 
YOU and still it's not working.

So yeah, I'm counting on the community at this point else I'll have to use a 
freaking MS machine.
