Hi Barry,


The line was there.  According to Posfix Virtual doc I download the
file on;
ftp://ftp.internic.com/domain/named.root

Tested.  Problem still remains;


# /usr/local/bind/sbin/named -u named -t /usr/local/bind -c
/etc/named.conf -g
28-Oct-2008 06:13:14.897 starting BIND 9.5.0 -u named -t
/usr/local/bind -c /etc/named.conf -g
28-Oct-2008 06:13:14.899 loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
28-Oct-2008 06:13:14.900 listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53
28-Oct-2008 06:13:14.901 listening on IPv4 interface eth0,
192.168.0.203#53
28-Oct-2008 06:13:14.901 could not configure root hints from
'/namedb/named.root': file not found
28-Oct-2008 06:13:14.901 loading configuration: file not found
28-Oct-2008 06:13:14.901 exiting (due to fatal error)


# cat 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 "/namedb/named.root";
};
* end *


Tried before changed the line as;
 file "named.root";

and;
 file "/namedb/etc/named.root";


No improvement found.
