Thanks...I'm not sure how to target the chroot'd path though? Is there a path var in Fedora that can be used as a shortcut, or does it need to be explicit? If I run "ls -la /var/named" I see there's directory called "chroot", and in "chroot" there "/var/named" Do I need to create an alias there to "/var/log"? And if so, would my file path be: /chroot/var/log/named/named.log? I'm confused by all the aliasing and how the permissions apply :( > > > On Sep 10, 11:28 am, "aklist" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi All: I reinstalled bind to 9.5.0-p1 last month, and it's now running >> chrooted (it wasn't before). >> >> My existing config file's logging statement looks like: >> >> logging {channel "my_syslog" { syslog daemon; severity info; }; >> channel "my_file" { file "/var/log/named/named.log" versions 3 size >> 1000k; >> severity dynamic; >> print-category yes; >> print-severity yes; >> print-time yes; }; >> channel "null" { null; }; >> category "default" { "my_syslog"; "my_file"; "my_stats"; }; >> category "general" { "my_file"; "my_stats"; }; >> category "notify" { "my_file"; }; >> category "queries" { "my_file"; }; >> category "unmatched" { "null"; "my_stats"; }; >> category "xfer-out" { "my_file"; }; >> channel "my_stats" { file "/var/log/named/namedstats.log" versions 3 >> size 100k; >> severity dynamic; >> print-category yes; >> print-severity yes; >> print-time yes; }; >> >> }; >> >> but when I reload bind I see that the "mystats" and "my_file" can't be >> written with permission denied.
