Hi Andy,

here is what my log looks, when bind starts:

named_start("Aug-1","14:04:22","BIND 9.2.3 -t /var/lib/named -u named").
named_listening("Aug-1","14:04:23","IP127000000001").
named_listening("Aug-1","14:04:23","IP192168048228").
named_command("Aug-1","14:04:24","IP192168020228","PORT00953").
named_command("Aug-1","14:04:24","IP127000000001","PORT00953").
named_loaded("Aug-1","14:04:44",".").
named_loaded("Aug-1","14:04:45","5wc").
named_loaded("Aug-1","14:04:45","arpa").
named_loaded("Aug-1","14:04:46","in-addr.arpa").
...
named_running("Aug-1","14:05:52").
named_notify("Aug-1","14:05:52",".","2005080112)").
named_notify("Aug-1","14:05:53","in-addr.arpa","2005080104)").
...
named_lame("Aug-1","14:06:00","IP216066037013","'dynupdate.no-ip.com'").
named_serial("Aug-1","14:06:03","nl.vg","2005073100").
named_axfr_in("Aug-1","14:06:03","IP084022100006","nl.vg").
named_serial("Aug-1","14:06:03","eu.vg","2004110100").
named_axfr_in("Aug-1","14:06:03","IP084022100006","eu.vg").
named_notify("Aug-1","14:06:03","nl.vg","2005073100)").
named_notify("Aug-1","14:06:03","eu.vg","2004110100)").

I guess your bind only reached named_start.

The listing is somewhat shortened and beautyfied.

If your bind is started in chroot mode then its directories should
look something like

echnaton 1.0.9 # ls -l /var/lib/named
total 7
drwxr-xr-x    2 named    root         1024 Oct  9 23:48 DNSOP
drwxr-xr-x    2 named    root         1024 Oct  3 19:18 Tallini
drwxr-x---    2 named    root         1024 Feb  1  2005 dev
drwxr-x---    2 named    root         1024 Oct  9 23:16 etc
drwxr-xr-x    2 named    root         1024 Sep 19 10:42 master
drwxr-xr-x    2 named    root         1024 Oct 12 11:15 slave
drwxr-xr-x    5 named    root         1024 Feb  1  2005 var

echnaton 1.0.9 # ls -l /var/lib/named/var
total 3
drwxr-xr-x    2 named    root         1024 Jun  5 17:47 log
drwxr-x---    2 named    root         1024 Feb  1  2005 named
drwxr-x---    2 named    root         1024 Oct 12 03:52 run

echnaton 1.0.9 # ls -l /var/lib/named/var/run
total 1
-rw-r--r--    1 named    named           4 Oct 12 03:52 named.pid

Maybe you have to check the directory structure.
Maybe you have to create (vi :) the named.pid file and chown it
to named.named

If this does not help please tell how far you bind comes.

Dont worry your listing will look a bit different.

We shall look into resolving and serving DNS as soon as your
bind comes up.

Kind regards,
Peter and Karin
