help with bind

[Stephane Bortzmeyer]

As mentioned already, this has nothing to do with BIND. There are
basic Unix questions and you should spend some time learning Unix
system administration first.

What about reading the documentation? The README file contains:

        You may specify the option "--sysconfdir" to set the directory 
        where configuration files like "named.conf" go by default,
        and "--localstatedir" to set the default parent directory
        of "run/named.pid".   For backwards compatibility with BIND 8,
        --sysconfdir defaults to "/etc" and --localstatedir defaults to
        "/var" if no --prefix option is given.  If there is a --prefix
        option, sysconfdir defaults to "$prefix/etc" and localstatedir
        defaults to "$prefix/var".

I would prefer the ability to write bug-free code. Although ever
lasting life may be a more realistic goal.
