I am failing to get Named started.
I copied my named.custom and zone files to a diskette from my 3.3 build.
I installed 4.0 from scratch and did the updates.
I edited /etc/named.conf (which I realize is a link) to include
named.custom
I cp named.custom into /etc (all of this was done while logged in as root)
When I try to start named from the services GUI (using GNOME) and I get
this error:
named failed. The error was: Starting named: /etc/named.conf:67: open
/etc/named.custom: file nto found
/etc/init.d/named: line 56: [: too many arguements [FAILED]
My guess is you have bind-chroot installed (good thing). If so, named
is running in chroot jail, and can't access real /etc directory. What
named will see as /etc is what you see as /var/named/chroot/etc. So you
need to place your *real* named.custom file inthere. For convinience
you may (if you want) create symbolic link to it from /etc.
Note that creating symbolic link from /var/named/chroot/etc to files in
/etc will not work. Named will see link pointing to /etc/named.custom.
Since it is running in chrooted jail, it will try to access what it
sees as /etc/named.custom (which really is
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.custom). So basically, it will see symbolic
link pointing to itself.
