Help setting a DNS server.

Tue Aug 17 15:40:47 UTC 2004

Hello Danny,

Thanks, i found another two named.conf files:

/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
/var/named/chroot/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

so i copied the /etc/named.conf find to this two files and now i get the 
following error in the /var/log/messages:

Aug 17 11:34:34 wawa named[9883]: starting BIND 9.2.2-P3 -u named -t 
/var/named/chroot

Aug 17 11:34:34 wawa named[9883]: zone localhost/IN: loaded serial 42
Aug 17 11:34:34 wawa named[9883]: running

Is there a any to configure named to look in the /etc/named.conf file 
instead of these other files???

Thanks a lot in advance,
Wagner.
