the error message is clear enough ... you cannot modify the /var/run/named/named.pid normally, the file should /var/run/named/named.pid in the /etc/named.conf configuration file you should have, in the options section, something like this: pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid"; Note: I have already give examples of configuration files in /usr/share/doc/bind-9.2.3/dhcp-dynamic-dns-examples/bind/etc/named.conf cheers, -- Florin http://www.mandrakesoft.com http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~florin/
