/etc = named.conf, rndc.conf and other config files /var/named = zone files.
Are you running just bind or bind-chroot. If the latter then named.conf goes in /var/named/chroot/etc rather than /etc and the zone files go into /var/named/chroot/var/named instead of /var/named. You can configure things any way you like but if you're using the RHEL updates then you need to put them where RHEL's RPMs put them. Also if you're using SELinux RHEL sets the contexts based on where it expects things to be. If you really want to see things from /etc/dns you could just make an /etc/dns directory then create symbolic links to the named.conf and the zone files in /etc/dns. -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-bounces+jlightner=water....@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Stewart Dean Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 3:53 PM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: repository for zone files On AIX, I'm used to /etc/dns. CentOS seems to place in /var/named. Is there any blessed, bestofallpossibleworlds place for the zone files. I'm moving our DNS from from AIX to CentOS/Fedora. I'm inclined to create the /etc/dns dir but maybe it'd be better to put it in /var/named.....Comments, brickbats? -- "One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being." - May Sarton Stewart Dean, Unix System Admin, Bard College, New York 12504 sd...@bard.edu voice: 845-758-7475, fax: 845-758-7035 _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users Proud partner.
