Hi Jeremy,
Debian Etch
Further to my last posting I found the cause of the problem.
# /usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c
/etc/named.conf -g

/usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf -g

* end *
# cat named.conf
options {
directory "/namedb";
version "I do not give any version info";
pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
allow-transfer { none ;};
};
zone "." IN {
type hint;
file " /etc/named.root";
};
* end *
Changing the line;
file " /etc/named.root";
to;
file "named.root";
# /usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c
/etc/named.conf -g

Still the same.
Whether it is necessary to put the full path of "/named.root"? If YES,
what will be the full path?
On which file specifies ROOTDIR? TIA
