BIND problem

[ttest]

I just installed BIND 8 on my Redhat 6.1 box. The RPM installed just fine and I have enable the named service. But when I restart my server, the named prompts a message saying that it can't find /etc/named.conf.

I am new to BIND and have no idea how to setup this conf file. Where can I find examples of BIND config?

ttest, check your box for a DNS-HOWTO - I don't know about RedHat, but SuSE installs them in /usr/share/doc/howto/en/html. If not do a search on the net for DNS-HOWTO. That is an excellent starter guide.

If you want to delve into DNS and Bind even more - get O'Reilley's book "DNS and Bind", that's for a more in-depth guide.

Hope this helps,
Paul

they wrote BIND, the manuals are there and the mailing list archives are often helpful

It may help you out with the basic bind setup.

beyond just loading the RPM, Bind has a set of configuration files that need to be setup.
