Yes, you’re right.

I don’t see why not, /etc/defaults/rc.conf shows: named_program="/usr/sbin/named" # Path to named, if you want a different one. named_conf="/etc/namedb/named.conf" # Path to the configuration file named_chrootdir="/var/named" # Chroot directory (or "" not to auto-chroot it) So it seems it should be looking in /var/named/etc/namedb/ (and in fact it does look there for the conf file); rndc seems to be looking elsewhere though. > | Now, it is true that there is no rndc.conf, but that is true all all > | three name servers.

And why is it looking outside the chroot? # cp rndc.key /etc # rndc status version: 9.9.7 <id:e87fa9ae> [… Stuff …] server is up and running # -- Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
