Follow up: Newbie Question : ERROR: dhcp Unable to add forward map from

[dhcp2003]

Thanks to all who replied to my noob question.
The problem was solved by giving write permission to
user 'bind' by the following command;

#chown root:bind /etc/namedb 

Resarted computer. The permissios were reset.
What to do now. Each time I change the permissions,
they are reset on system restart.

Regards
