You may want to add lines like the following to your /etc/named.conf
file and then check the output in the log files specified
(/var/named/log/log /var/named/log/seclog). This should give you some
ideas whether named has started correctly etc.
logging {
channel seclog {
file "log/seclog" versions 5 size 1m;
print-time yes; print-category yes;
};
channel log {
file "log/log" versions 5 size 1m;
print-time yes; print-category yes;
};
category xfer-out { seclog; };
category panic { seclog; };
category security { seclog; };
category insists { seclog; };
category response-checks { seclog; };
category load { log; };
category lame-servers { log; };
category cname { log; };
};
