All, Thanks for the response given on this. I modified the named.conf file line file "/chroot/named/logs/named.log"; to file "/logs/named.log"; Now when I restart bind, the error I get now is "logging channel 'audit_log' file '/logs/named.log' : permission denied Sorry but I'm new to BIND. Jeremy - Not sure what you mean about the mkdir -p /chroot/named/logs/ # before starting named. Can you explain a little more what I need to do? Thanks. Mark

But this gives me a hint that you are running named with -t for chroot. So use channel file that is within your chroot like: file "/logs/named.log"; mkdir -p /chroot/named/logs/ # before starting named
