Logging categories

[Adam Lang]

I am trying this for my logging options:

logging{
        channel my_file {
                file "/var/log/named.log";
                severity debug;
                print-time yes;
                print-severity yes;
         };

        category default {my_file;};
        category panic {my_file;};
        category packet {my_file;};
        category eventlib {my_file;};
        category queries {my_file;};
        category lame-servers {null;};
        category cname {null;};
};

But I get this in my syslog (/var/log/messages):

Jun 11 11:28:05 reagan /usr/local/sbin/named[22792]: command channel
listening on 127.0.0.1#953
Jun 11 11:28:05 reagan /usr/local/sbin/named[22792]: unknown logging
category 'panic' ignored
Jun 11 11:28:05 reagan /usr/local/sbin/named[22792]: unknown logging
category 'packet' ignored
Jun 11 11:28:05 reagan /usr/local/sbin/named[22792]: unknown logging
category 'eventlib' ignored
Jun 11 11:28:05 reagan /usr/local/sbin/named[22792]: unknown logging
category 'cname' ignored

Again, not sure why.
