Hi Giuliano,
You're correct. Both named.root and named.conf are on
/usr/local/bind/etc/
# ls /usr/local/bind/etc/ | grep named.conf
named.conf
ls /usr/local/bind/etc/ | grep named.root
named.root
# ls -l /usr/local/bind/etc/named.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 231 Oct 28 12:48 /usr/local/bind/etc/named.conf
# ls -l /usr/local/bind/etc/named.root
-rw-r--r-- 1 root staff 2878 Oct 28 03:49
/usr/local/bind/etc/named.root
# grep staff /etc/group
staff:x:50:
On running the command;
# /usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c
/etc/named.conf -g
/etc/named.conf can be found.
But /etc/named.root on the named.conf file can't be found.
# cat /usr/local/bind/etc/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";
};
# find / -name namedb -type d
/usr/local/bind/namedb
# locate named.pid
No printout.
B.R.
Stephen
